In addition to writing, Patrick is a voracious reader, taking in an eclectic swath of fiction and non-fiction across many genres, with horror being a favorite.

Praise for Patrick James Ryan

“Patrick writes a hell of a vicious critter story and these little guys are particularly nasty.  The cover jumps out at you and foreshadows the promise of gore dripping pages of terror. Patrick has written a novel that delivers on this promise and is fueled by copious shots of Nitro. The action is fast and visceral, like a roller coaster ride. He takes the reader on a bumpy ride, full of gore, claws, and bullets….”   –Horror After Dark (on The Night It Got Out)

Poetry from Hell’s Asylum –Ebooks

Original price was: $5.98.Current price is: $2.98.
An asylum is a place meant for shelter and support, and a place to segregate the mentally ill from the rest of the world, generally speaking. Then again, when you’re in Hell’s Asylum, you’re stuck in a place you don’t want to be….not ever, not in your deepest darkest nightmares. There are those who’ve been there and live to tell. This is the poetry of one who has been there, and it ain’t wine & roses, nor is it mere fire and brimstone and the sickest of twisted evils. It’s worse than that. This is not only Hell…..it’s Hell’s Asylum....
