White-Fatigue Syndrome

"White-Fatigue Syndrome" won the Sir Charles G. D. Roberts Prize and was published in the "New Muse of Contempt". Recently it has been published in the short story collection, "Where People with Tattoos Waited for the Dark" In this story Tom, an artist from Newfoundland, used to produce horrible collages of exploded male genitalia as a statement that the creative impulse is an act of violence against the purity of the clean, white canvas. One day, however, he faces the profound consequences of real violence in a brutal world that exists outside his art. Transformed by the experience, he tries to use his body and his sexuality as a sort of experimental canvas to bring wholeness and recovery to his own exploded masculinity. "Where People with Tattoos Waited for the Dark" can be read entirely at my website: seamusoceallaigh.com and there are links on this site for the purchase of a 260 page illustrated hard cover edition from Grianan Press.

A collection of short stories about Sex, Death and the Erotic Divine I've published a collection of short stories that examine sexual identity and the eroticism around those sexual experiences that give us some understanding about the Divine and the divine state beyond death. This work is an explicit exploration of gender divergence and the bisexual struggle between heterosexual and homosexual desires. Four of these five stories have been published in reputable literary journals. Three of them have received prestigious fiction prizes. Please visit seamusoceallaigh.com to learn more.
