Tales from the Unknown Machine
Short Stories of High Strangeness
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
For over twenty years, Thomas Sheridan quietly accumulated unfinished stories, abandoned screenplays, non-submitted television concepts, and rough drafts hidden away in notebooks, hard drives, and forgotten folders.
Now, those fragments have been brought together for the first time in this collection of Weird Fiction, Cosmic Horror, Folk Horror, and Occult Tales.
Drawing inspiration from the literary traditions of H. P. Lovecraft, Colin Wilson, Nigel Kneale, Denis Wheatley, and Stephen King, Sheridan presents a series of stories where ancient curses cross oceans, forgotten entities stalk declining towns, haunted landscapes conceal cosmic secrets, and ordinary lives collide with forces beyond human understanding.
Infused with the author's lifelong fascination with the occult, folklore, esoteric traditions, and the darker corners of human consciousness, these tales blend supernatural terror with philosophical mystery and cosmic dread.
From rural Ireland to the forests of New England, from abandoned industrial communities to the furthest reaches of deep space, the stories in this collection explore a universe where reality is far stranger than it appears—and where some doors are best left unopened.
Twenty years in the making, this is a journey into the weird, the uncanny, and the unknowable.
