Welcome to Beau Johnston's official home page.

Beau has always had an active (some might say overactive) imagination. He has always enjoyed telling creepy tales on long car trips or during black-outs and thunderstorms.

Beau completed his first novel Sleep With One Eye Open, in 2014. The dark and disturbingly realistic tale quickly gained a following, with many readers demanding a sequel.

Devoting most of his spare time to writing, Beau completed Sleep With One Eye Open: Ghost, in September 2015. The story is more unnerving than the original, and far more devious.

In November 2017 Beau completed his third book, Sleep With One Eye Open: Shadow. This gave him the opportunity to explore the psychological side-effects of having to do horrible things simply to survive another day.

31 October 2024 saw Beau publish his anthology of short stories from the Zombie Apocalypse. This book is darker and creepier and although part of the same apocalypse you do not have to have read his three previous books to be suitably chilled and repulsed by these new characters.
