I see you...

Kealan Patrick Burke is a Stoker Award-winning author of horror from the Emerald Isle, who, among his accomplishments, edited Taverns of the Dead, a collection of dark fantasy set in pubs and bars. Among many of my friends, that would render him kith 'n' kin. His short story "Peekers" was turned into a film by noted author Rick Hautala and directed by Mark Steensland, and has scarfed up a number of awards at fantasy film festivals. For those of you who miss the "quiet horror" made popular by the late Charles L. Grant and his Shadows anthologies, this will be very much to your liking...as it was to mine. Beware those games of childhood that overstay their welcome...
