Ceann Drake is an old Celtic soul wrapped in a modern world, a storyteller whose voice feels as ancient as his tongue and only slightly older than his teeth. A romantic at heart with a lifelong fascination for the unseen, he weaves tales where the supernatural walks beside the everyday and the shadows of urban life hide far more than they reveal.

Blending myth, mystery, and a touch of the otherworldly, Ceann’s fiction explores the thin veil between this world and the next. His stories pulse with atmosphere, emotion, and the timeless pull of folklore, all delivered with the unmistakable charm of a writer who has always loved the strange, the magical, and the beautifully uncanny.

A young soldier takes a routine night watch that turns into three hours of terror he may not survive. Alone in a field where the darkness feels alive, he begins to see bushes shifting, figures moving, and a naked man covered in mud — or blood — watching him from the trees.

When his relief fails to arrive and every radio call dissolves into static, he realises the camp has gone silent… and the silence is not empty. As dawn approaches, the truth becomes clear: he was never guarding the camp. He was guarding the place where they died.

Three Hours: A Soldier’s Night in the Dark is a tense, claustrophobic psychological horror novella that traps the reader in the dark and doesn’t let go.
