Michael McGlade

Michael McGlade grew up in an Irish farmhouse where the leaky roof didn't bother him as much as the fear of electrocution from the nightly scramble for prime position beneath the chicken lamp, the only source of heating in the house - a large infrared heat lamp more commonly used for poultry. His seminal influences were Darwin's Survival Of The Fattest and a morbid belief that "undying love" meant you had a soft-spot for zombies.

His 100+ short stories have been published in Gray's Sporting Journal, Shimmer, the Saturday Evening Post, the Irish Times, Confrontation, Ares Magazine, and Grain. With works narrated for Far Fetched Fables, and Plan B.

Finalist of the Hennessy Literary Award 2017.

He holds a master's degree in English from the Seamus Heaney Centre, Queen's University, Ireland. You can find out the latest news and views from him on McGladeWriting.com.
