Just got back from my nightly walk. I love my neighbourhood.

In one week and one day, #ChildrenOfAbel will officially launch on October 31, 2025, Halloween. It's been a long journey; thank you to all who have taken it with me, from my beta readers, to my online supporters, to my wonderful family. To all, a very heartfelt thank you.

�"Dark and winding, O'Reilly takes you on a journey not often travelled in the horror world. From heart-pounding suspense to biblical cults, Children of Abel had me hooked from the first chapter, and can't wait to see where Brett goes from here."
—RJ Roles, author of Pieces of Me
Spring of 2021 was when I began writing a labour of love: #ChildrenOfAbel. I finished the 1st draft in August of 2024, all of it handwritten.
To see it now—ready to be released to the world—it’s been quite the journey.

I’ve been so focused on #ChildrenOfAbel that I haven’t mentioned #BuyMeACoffee in awhile!
Saturdays are my writing days, and I could use some help in buying my mochas! By buying me a coffee through the app, you get to read some of my flash fiction!

On a snowy December night during the COVID pandemic, Callie Smithers raced across an icy lot to a steel door to escape a werewolf. (“One Hundred Yards”, Aftertaste and Other Stories)
She survived, believing it to be the worst night of her life.
She was dead wrong.
#ChildrenOfAbel. Coming soon.
Summer Quinn wants to live her best life. Aware that sometimes involves hard choices, she makes one; only to learn not just the hard way, but the horrible way that not everyone agrees with her decision.
And they intend to make her pay.
#ChildrenOfAbel. Coming soon.
I am Brett O’Reilly and I mostly write speculative #horror.
Haven’t done much writing lately; I do have 2 short stories in varying stages, and am plotting my second novel in my head. (Debut novel, #ChildrenOfAbel, awaiting an agent.)

Day 6 of summoning an agent for my debut horror novel #ChildrenOfAbel.
Ended up summoning Bogart, my muse, who had a lot to say about me spending more time writing and less time being silly on social media. So I guess that’s it.
Still hearing giggling and little footsteps at night…
Day 5 of summoning an agent for my debut horror novel #ChildrenOfAbel.
Heard a crash in the middle of the night. SHE’S GONE. Have not slept well since. I may need to summon a professional, seeing as The Vatican isn’t returning my calls.
Day 4 of summoning an agent for my debut horror novel #ChildrenOfAbel.
I DON’T KNOW where she came from. I DIDN’T mean to conjure her. I CAN’T SEEM TO SEND HER BACK.
HELP.
Day 3 of summoning an agent for my debut horror novel #ChildrenOfAbel.
Note to self: Never summon on an empty stomach. Addendum: I may have found a way around “For a Limited Time Only”…
Day 2 of summoning an agent for my debut horror novel #ChildrenOfAbel.
Don’t know about this guy. Sure, he’s handy with the Force, but he’s got no pull with the Senate. And as I’m a #horrorwriter, I’m not sure how down he’d be with my #DarkSide…
Day 1 of summoning an agent for my debut horror novel #ChildrenOfAbel.
When I said “query letter”, letters to Santa wasn’t what I was thinking. Unless…do you think he’d bring me an agent for Christmas? Maybe have to go through HIS agent- in which case I may have got this summoning right after all.
So, I’ve been querying agents for my debut horror novel, #ChildrenOfAbel, but with the holidays close, it’s been pretty quiet. So, I’m going to try to summon up some representation this week
Not Ozymandias though; all it took was to lay down the circle to summon him. 🙄
