Tales Under A Broken Sky: Collected Stories - Season I
A print collection of surreal short stories from a Southwest Irish podcast.
O'Sullivan transforms his first season of independent audio episodes into a book format. He writes, records, and produces all content personally. The focus is on speculative themes rather than conventional horror tropes. Stories are grouped according to their original seasonal release pattern. Settings vary from haunted homes to barren planets. The tone stays true to the podcast's exploration of humanity through a dark perspective. Rather than following established literary norms, the work provides a new viewpoint from a solo creator. It is best suited for audiences who appreciate mood-driven tales and short speculative fiction.
The author produces this work independently in the Southwest of Ireland. The stories originate from a fortnightly podcast dedicated to surreal and fantastical themes. The collection represents Season 01 of that ongoing series, bringing audio narratives into print format for a wider audience.
