Aftertaste

    “One of the best short story collections I’ve ever read in my life.”—AstraDaemon’s Lair

    Praised by readers for their immersive storytelling and wide-ranging themes, Brett O’Reilly’s stories will leave you on the edge of your seat, eager for more.

    Detectives investigate a series of disappearances linked to a mysterious prop door marked with cryptic blood-drawn symbols. A vampire adapting to the COVID pandemic is forced to order delivery… but his meal arrives with a sinister surprise that he’d rather forget. A woman on the run discovers her tiny mountain town has secrets of its own… and not all cults are created equal.

    In these tales and others, experience the spine-tingling allure of horror that lingers long after the last page.

    “O’Reilly is quite a talented author and storyteller.”—Kay Oliver, author of The Shattering

    “The passion the author has for storytelling really shines… I felt myself become swept along and easily absorbed by each new twisted tale.”—Kendall Reviews
