Welcome to The Irresponsible Reader’s part in the Cover Reveal for The Other Side of Fear by Eoghan Egan! I do this with a sigh of relief—unlike the last cover reveal I agreed to do for Red Dog, I saw the email with the details in my spam folder before the reveal date, and I’d hate to renege twice in a row. Also, this is a cool cover and I like sharing cool things with you. But before we get to the striking cover down below, why don’t we learn a bit about the book?

Book Blurb

Sharona Waters is determined to dig into loan shark Dessie Dolan’s business and see him brought to justice. But when a young woman she’s only briefly met goes missing, a much darker story emerges.

Pulled into the ruthless world of people trafficking—a world built on violent brutality and sudden death – Sharona finds herself caught between crime and conscience, pursued by powerful and ruthless criminals, and just one bad decision away from having her whole world crash down.

Sometimes, the only way forward is to risk everything, no matter the cost

Publication date: March 29, 2022

About the Author

A native of Co. Roscommon, Ireland, Eoghan wrote his first story aged nine. At college, he studied Computer Programming, works in Sales Management & Marketing, but his passion for reading and writing remain.

Eoghan’s stories were shortlisted for the 2018 Bridport Short Story Prize, and Listowel’s 2019 Bryan McMahon Short Story Award Competition. Others have been published in various anthologies. He has also completed two crime fiction novels in a planned trilogy set in the Irish Midlands and has started work on the third.

A graduate of Maynooth University’s Creative Writing Curriculum and Curtis Brown’s Edit & Pitch Your Novel Course, Eoghan divides his time between Roscommon and Dublin.

Eoghan constantly explores ways to increase his knowledge in the art of writing. He enjoys attending literary festivals and is excited about the prospect of getting back to face-to-face discussions with readers and writers. He’s also a heavy metal fan, and, post-Covid, can’t wait to headbang at a rock gig.

The Cover

Once again, Red Dog Press nails the cover, their streak of winning covers continues.

As good as the cover is, I’m betting the interior of the book is better—you can (and should) pre-order this now at: Red Dog Press.
