Welcome to the official site of sci-fi & thriller author Aidan J. Reid

I write novels and short fiction typically around weird, kooky themes.

Rogue teeth-knocking tooth fairies, Peruvian shamans, Detective Catholic Priests, Lucid Dreaming Prisoners, Biblical Characters. No cookie-cutter story-telling here.

I live in the northwest of Ireland in a town called Letterkenny, Donegal.

This site showcases my work, explores various sci-fi and fantastical themes while also giving vent to the voices in my head.
