If you want to experience some Irish #horror this Saint Patrick's weekend obviously you should read Dracula. But if you already have, try #knockknockopenwide . Celtic myth, cosmic horror and corpses that you really should leave where you found them.

Hello friends! Did you read #KnockKnockOpenWide? Well thanks!/nuts to you! (delete as appropriate). But if you DID, and you happened to come across any typos or errors could you let me know so that the paperback can be even better? Thanks!
