Classic Horror Lovers discussion

I have read a few of his works via epub. Great author and has a great blog on Facebook as well.

Here is the interview: http://www.andyerupts.com/?p=3417

Like an idiot, I mispelled his name! Here is his website; http://www.williammeikle.com/

He has an excellent newsletter as well

I have a few of his books, and I'm looking forward to reading him!

He has a new Sherlock Holmes book coming out soon

Cool!

His Twitter feed / Lovecraft newsletter is worth checking out too.

It's ok, David, I fixed it for ya. He sounds good, will have to check him out!

And I'm here on Goodreads too if anyone wants to ask me anything :-)

Latest news is I have a multi-book deal lined up with Dark Regions Press. The above mentioned Sherlock Holmes book, REVENANT is next in line and should be out by Xmas.

Great to hear from you. I just finished your short story called the Crown of Thrones. Good stuff, thanks. Looking forward to Holmes book.

Question-Do you prefer Ebook or printed format. I know printed costs more for the consumer.

I just finished "LARKHILL BARROW"-BRAVO!

I prefer anything that gets my stories to readers :-)

ebooks have been very good for me in that regard, giving me a whole new, and quite large, audience. But I must admit, getting the hardcover of THE CREEPING KELP in my hands recently gave me a huge thrill.

Hi William. I'm glad you popped you head in on your thread! I have a stack of your stories to read. I hope I get to read them soon!

Glad you enjoyed it. I love writing the Carnacki stories - I plan to do a bunch more of them. The stories in the Kindle edition, plus a new story and a new 30,000 word Carnacki novella, will be out soon in hardback and paperback editions from Dark Regions Press.

Very cool! You do a remarkable job on the stories. The original Carnacki is free. (Thomas Carnacki is a fictional supernatural detective created by English fantasy writer William Hope Hodgson) -

I may have to break down and buy the Kelp book, but I want to read Sherlock first.

You may have a chance to win a free copy of the Holmes one. See here.

Two new books coming — and a Facebook/Twitter contest to win them.

Actually caught the contest in your Lovecraft newsletter. I have already entered and thanks.

Another question-which character (challenger, Holmes, Carnacki, etc.) is the hardest to write?

Holmes I think, because the "voice" is so distinctive, and you have to give him the intellectual rigor to match the character. There's more leeway with the others because they're less well known in the public consciousness.

A nice write up for one of William's book.

Thought I'd resurrect this thread as he has written many novels since the last time anyone commented in here and I have like four of his books to-read that I need to get to.

He is one of my favorite pulp authors

Yeah, I'm going to start reading one of his books soon.

there was a huge sell on his books recently. i bought 4 or 5. they were 99 cents at amazon.

Yeah, he does a lot of sales and deals. I'm subscribed to his newsletter. He has a book out for .99 today

That’s good 😊

I also just checked and I have 4 of his books on my kindle.
