Praise for the Midnight Eye Files
“Meikle’s writing makes you feel like you’re there, in the rain with Derek Adams, searching seedy pawn shops and bars for the answers. The atmosphere is terrific, and the author knows that sometimes less is more.” - The Lovecraft ezine
“I encourage you to pour yourself a couple of fingers of whisky and visit Meikle’s and Derek’s Glasgow some evening as the shadows grow long.” - New Pulp
“The writing itself is crisp, filled with good description and strong dialogue. The Scottish setting, while not prominent, grounds the reader in a sense of place. The characters, while themselves variations on noir tropes, are beleivable, and more importantly, likable. All of this, taken together, makes for a smooth, enjoyable read.” - Rich Ristow, Strange Latitudes

Fabulous Action!
Derek Adams is back in action with Volume 2 of Midnight Eye Files.
Filled with Sigils and Totems, the series is about the wild, wet and wonderful! The stories are an epic adventure.
The stories begin with a tale of Derek having a Lovecraftian encounter with music. He has the enticement of money to keep him involved.
Each story is a five star story. William Meikle has a great book here.
Five stars. ✨✨✨✨✨
