From Robert E. Kearns comes: Jeremiah Kildare and The Wolf of The Same County
Now with a Five Star review from Readers' Favorite
In the frost-bitten heart of County Kildare, where lush pastures lie buried under winter's unyielding grip, bachelor farmer Jeremiah Kildare unearths more than just fuel for his hearth. While digging peat from the ancient bog—a sacred family plot hiding secrets such as illicit poteen—Jeremiah disturbs a relic from Ireland's primordial past: a colossal wolf, preserved in pristine terror by the tannin-rich earth, its massive size twice that of any beast in legend.
As Jeremiah hauls his incredible discovery home, thawing it before a crackling turf fire, what begins as curiosity spirals into nightmare. The creature's fur gleams anew, its limbs loosen, and ancient eyes flicker with unholy life. In this chilling tale of isolation and the supernatural, one man's unshakeable routine awakens a predator from the Ice Age, blurring the line between the living and the dead. Will the wolf claim the county that shares its name—or devour the fellow who dared disturb its eternal slumber?
A haunting short story blending Irish folklore, rural solitude, and visceral horror, Jeremiah Kildare and The Wolf of the Same County is perfect for fans of atmospheric chills or the mythic beasts of Celtic lore.
