Born in Dungarvan, Ireland and transplanted to Ohio, USA — Kealan Patrick Burke is a rising star in the horror world as editor and writer and now actor.
In Slime City Massacre (written and directed by Greg Lamberson) Kealan plays an army deserter who arrives in the evacuated neighborhood of New York City called “Slime City” where he partakes in the drinking of a certain wine which transforms him and three others into killers.
When he’s not racking up a body count on the silver screen, Kealan writes horror fiction. Some of his best short stories appear in a collection called The Number 121 to Pennsylvania and Others.

Nominated for the 2008 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Collection Kealan Patrick Burke’s first collection Ravenous Ghosts was released in a very limited run, promptly sold out, and now commands high prices on the secondary market. We are very pleased to introduce you to the author’s follow-up collection, an ambitious gathering of some of the tales for which he is best known. The lonesome sound of a long forgotten train draws an old man to memories of a horrific past . . . A journalist makes the mistake of visiting a website where real-life executions are the order of the day . . . At the foot of an old tree, an insidious evil awaits two boys digging for treasure . . . A browbeaten salesman finds hope and a possible escape from the banality of his world when he returns home to find a fairytale beanstalk sprouting from his garden . . . A man resists the social pressure to quit smoking and puts himself at an unimaginable risk . . . A high school student accepts a dare to ask out the ugliest girl in school and enters a world of pain and violence . . . A bunch of barflies doomed to murder sinners get together for one last drink in a dying town . . . These are some of the passengers, headed for a ride through the dark uncharted regions of the heart and mind, on a train unbound by any law but its own. All aboard The Number 121 to Pennsylvania. There will be no stops. Table of Contents:
