Darren Gallagher was born and currently lives in Co. Donegal, Ireland. Having dropped out of school at fourteen, he decided in 2008 to finally pluck up the courage and follow a dream that had been haunting him since childhood. Receiving a Diploma in Creative Writing from Kilroy's College in Dublin was the first step in re-learning the English that he'd forgotten, and that he never knew. A natural night owl, when everyone else is sleeping, he hears the bumps and creaks, captures them, and turns them into stories to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
