Big news!

At the end of the month I'll be embarking on an epic, two week book tour of North America with my colleague in anti-piscine propaganda Dan Santat! We'll be doing readings in schools across the US and Canada as well as some public events and I'd love to see you there

Because you asked for it.

Schools across America, and even parts of Canada!

DON'T TRUST FISH is going on tour. Me and @unshavedmouse.bsky.social (all the way from Ireland)

You've been warned.

Hey! Sorry I'm only answering this now. I wrote the script back in 2021, sent it to Penguin who searched for an illustrator and Dan very graciously agreed to draw for it around 2023 I think.

Read an Excerpt From The Burial Tide by Neil Sharpson - Reactor On an eerily quiet island off the coast of Ireland, a woman with no memory claws her way out of her grave and back to life.

A woman who can’t remember her death.

An island with a terrible secret.

A past that refuses to stay buried.

We're thrilled to share an excerpt from @unshavedmouse.bsky.social's Irish horror The Burial Tide!
