Peadar O Guilin is an Irish science fiction and fantasy author whose work tends toward dark, imaginative world-building. His Bone World Trilogy, starting with The Inferior (2007), is set in a world where humanity lives inside a massive dome surrounded by hostile alien species. The trilogy continued with The Deserter (2011) and The Volunteer (2014), each expanding on the strange, claustrophobic setting of the first book.

His other major series, The Call (2016) and its sequel The Invasion (2018), is set in an alternate Ireland where teenagers are randomly snatched into a fairy realm and must survive long enough to be returned. It is a brutal, fast-paced young adult duology that drew comparisons to The Hunger Games for its premise but has a distinctly Irish flavor. O Guilin has also contributed to anthologies like A Walk on the Darkside (2004) and published the short story collection Forever in the Memory of God (2014). With eight books total, his output is modest, but each title shows a writer who builds strange worlds and isn’t afraid to put his characters through the worst of them.
