As you may have seen on this site, I submit short stories to various anthologies. During my time as a writer, this has been a very productive way of creating new ideas, keeping my writing brain fresh and also exploring unexplored territories. For me, short stories are still a relatively new concept … so when the stories were being accepted willingly, it surprised me. Now, when I submit a short to an anthology, it becomes one of many that will someday be included in the Whispers series.
Whispers – Volume 1: A Collection 
Whispers – often unheard and sometimes misinterpreted. They make people uncomfortable and anxious. They can spread innocent words and they can infect the mind with hatred and lies. They can be a sign of secrecy or a symptom of utter madness…
From Stuart Keane comes a collection of short stories. Featuring a foreword from Catt Dahman, Whispers brings you nine horrific tales…previously published but brought together for the very first time. This is terror experienced by ordinary people in ordinary circumstances, when their mundane lives spiral out of control and become something a little more sadistic.
In this collection of horrific tales, we meet: A scorned wife with bloody vengeance on her mind; an expecting but unwilling mother who’s foetus has other ideas; Tommy and his closet, which holds a dark secret; a couple who fall in love on Halloween…or do they?; a psychopath who’s evening is interrupted by the end of the world; a paraplegic on a deadly train ride to nowhere, and a mutilated clown with a violent score to settle.
Whispers – sometimes we hear them, but they definitely hear us.
Whispers – Volume 1 is available on Amazon now.
