K. Patrick Malone is the author of four multi-award winning small press horror novels and a collection of award winning short stories; supernatural tales with a distinctive male perspective voice driven by finely detailed characters that tug at your heart or grab you by the throat. Critics describe his work as, "Riveting." Foreword Magazine said Inside a Haunted Mind was, “Riveting from the start. . . Malone's powerful descriptions keep the reader thoroughly engaged." Midwest Reviews said, "An Unfinished House . . . is a riveting read that will prove difficult to put down." And independent publishing awards committees overwhelmingly agree:
