Graham Tugwell

A selection of publications

I have been writing short stories since 2010, with one of my first efforts winning the College Green Literary Prize that year. Since then I have written over 150 short stories, most of them horror and most taking place in a mildly fictionalised version of my home town. Over 70 of these short stories have been published across the world, particularly in Ireland, Britain and the United States, with a couple even being translated into other languages, including Polish. Below you will find a selection of my most recent and most notable publications. Please enjoy, quaking and trembling where applicable and emitting small shrieks of fright and alarm as you see fit.

LATEST PUBLICATION

‘Leverets Through the Hole in the Hedge’ in Anne Doyle Presents: Tales of the Other World

Ireland’s best-loved newsreader delights in presenting Tales of the Otherworld, a fabulously frightful anthology of Irish ghost stories that have thrilled, unnerved and, for better or worse, stayed with her over the years. Discover the very best of Irish ghost writing, from national treasures such as W.B. Yeats and Bram Stoker to contemporary writers, each accompanied by charming, witty commentary from Anne herself.
