| 1 | The Restless Dead | 2007 | J.H. Brennan | Buy |
J.H. Brennan’s anthology work includes The Restless Dead, a 2007 horror collection that brings together stories from several authors. Brennan’s contribution fits comfortably alongside his broader interest in the supernatural and the macabre, themes that run through both his fiction and his extensive non-fiction catalog on the paranormal.
Horror anthologies are a good format for writers like Brennan who have spent careers thinking about what scares people. His decades of research into ghosts, hauntings, and the occult give his horror fiction a texture that comes from genuine familiarity with the source material, not just genre conventions. The Restless Dead offered him a chance to channel that knowledge into a short, punchy format aimed at younger readers looking for a good scare.
