the horrors of capitalism
Keane writes stories where the timeless fear of being chased through deep, dark woods by something unknown is paired with the modern existential terrors of being bodily consumed by our work, spiritually flayed by nationalism, and brutalized by the state.

morsel, a horror novella from nightfire press coming march 2026
Lou did what the children of parents with back-breaking, poor paying jobs are supposed to do: pulled up her bootstraps, went to college, and got an office job with coworkers who won’t stop talking about their self-betterment multi-level marketing scheme.
In the spirit of climbing the corporate ladder by going above and beyond and motivated by the crushing pressure of lifting her mother out of poverty before it’s too late, Lou accepts an assignment in the rural hills of Southern Ohio. She quickly finds herself stranded in the middle of nowhere with a sabotaged truck, a dog she’s determined to keep safe, and something stalking her through the ancient Appalachian woods.
If she can’t escape the woods in time, she’ll come face to face with the fact that her job isn’t the only thing that wants to eat her alive.
