F.M. Kearney

Better known in the art world, F.M. Kearney is an award-winning fine art nature photographer. Although he has written several photography-related articles for magazines and online sites, this is his first novel-length feature in the horror genre. Kearney began his career as a photojournalist in New York City. His assignments took him all over town, with the subway serving as his primary means of transportation. When most non-New Yorkers think of the subway, thoughts of Grand Central, Times Square and Penn Station - huge bustling hubs filled with hundreds of people - will undoubtedly come to mind. Having traveled on every line in the city, it was clear to him that the vast majority of the system's 468 stations were nothing like that, in fact, they were the exact opposite. Most were fairly quiet, dimly lit and sparsely populated...and that's in the middle of the day. Viewing it as the perfect setting for a horror story, it's no wonder why Kearney chose the subway as his muse for "They Only Come Out at Night."
