Carnacki - the new adventures



as you can tell from these posts, the world of William Hope Hodgson is emanating through the ether hereabouts.Compounding the general Hodgsonian air is the wonderful news that my very own Carnacki The Ghost finder story is to be published in Ulthar Press's new compendium of new Carnacki stories. Mr. Gafford, the proprietor of said small press has an indispensable blog about the author, for the uninitiated WWH is a true antecedent of Lovecraft and his ilk, with an idiosyncratic take on nascent cosmic horror.

My story is set in the uncanny peripheries of our own personal borderlands, and takes its place below in the contents of the new collection amongst fellow Carnacki acolytes.

the contents copied across from the William Hope Hodgson blog.
