Hauling Like A Brooligan

Stephen Gallagher

Books

Stephen Gallagher is the author of novels and short story collections ranging from period horror (including the acclaimed Sebastian Becker trilogy) to modern thrillers.

Stephen Gallagher’s novels make the case that popular fiction can also be literature. I’ve read several of his novels two and three times and with each rereading I find myself rewarded with images and nuances of character and subtle themes I’d missed previously. I can say the same for his short fiction. He is also a dazzling storyteller. He has Hitchcock’s feel for pace and twist and Claude Chabrol’s for the moments when anguished people come apart

Just finished Stephen Gallagher’s The Bedlam Detective. Only bad thing about his books is that they eventually end. Brilliant.
