Deep Autumn
Deep Autumn by Michael-Patrick Harrington Late at night, when sleep is evasive, and the sins of the past flicker like the leaves falling from the trees, it is the season of Deep Autumn: fifteen stories to crunch underfoot like so many lies and regrets. This is the Time of the Dares. This is the smell of the Burning of the Leaves. *** "It's not a book I would have read for pleasure." Beth Meier, copyeditor, Deep Autumn "Am I going to like it?" Kathleen Harrington, the author's mom "I'm afraid if I read it, you'll be gone...you'll die." Cathie Gore, the author's soul mate

I was born in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and I now reside in Ambler, a one square mile town in the same state that has a bunch of churches, about six bars, and zero dog parks.
I wrote my first short story in 2nd grade (it was really short), declared war on my sister in the 3rd grade, grew peach fuzz on my upper lip in 6th grade, kissed a girl in 10th grade, but never broke any bones (although my sister did give me a black eye utilizing a large hardback collection of Little Golden Books).
My first professionally published work was a two part article on musician/poet Patti Smith (including an interview) that appeared in the now-defunct magazine, Rockpile.
My first book, Deep Autumn, a collection of short stories and juvenilia, was released in 2003, followed by I See No Angels, which consists of three novellas, in 2004. The novel Saving Magdalene finally saw the light of day in 2013. (In the interim, I graduated magna cum laude from Arcadia University).
2013 was a busy year. I launched my own publishing imprint, Silk Raven Press, and Deep Autumn and I See No Angels were re-released in all new revised editions. (All of my books are available in both paperback and Kindle editions. Some are available in Nook editions.)
Sweater Girl and Other Tales of Mondauk County, my fourth book, was released in 2014. Sweater Girl contains four novellas and four short stories, all set in the fictional, sometimes poisonous, Mondauk County, where all of my books are set.
The Distant Sound of Boiling Tea, a screenplay without a movie, was released in 2015.
In 2021 came two new books: Everything's Ephemeral: Stories from the Workshops Volume I and Get Out, You Ghosts: Stories From the Workshops Volume II. Both are collections of short work, including short stories, a novella, and a one-act play. All the work was written during the author’s time in five writing workshops at Arcadia University.
My two newest books are The Innkeeper at the End of the World (a novel) and A Lab's Ears Made of SILK (a novella for middle-graders).
Finally, work has begun on another novel, Is It Dark Where You Go?

I'm not really sure what to say about this one.....it's a collection of short stories that is weird, creepy, depressing, and thought provoking all at once. I couldn't figure out if the author was a genius or completely bonkers - maybe a bit of both. Not sure if I recommend this, but at least with it being a collection, you don't really have to commit to much if you do decide to pick it up.
