Eoin Leydon O’Connor

Level 9

2023

Eoin Leydon O’Connor is a native of Sligo and a graduate of the M.A. in Creative Practice programme at ATU Sligo. His main vein of work is short story writing, although he dabbles in poetry, screenplay & playwriting occasionally. He has also taken to self-publishing his work on Amazon as of 2023.

Eoin’s main interest in writing is delving into the paranormal and macabre, but also showing the lighter, more beautiful side to his characters and the world he creates. As an avid fan of horror, he delves into stories involving body horror, existential trauma, as well as writing about friendship, love, death, grief, happiness and hope amidst the darker moments throughout each piece. His debut collection of short stories Rural Tales is set to be published later this year.
