A series of blog posts will be presented for your delectation, with contributions from authors and enthusiasts, along with a gallery of WHH covers and other sundries. We look forward to seeing you…<\/p>\n

2 October – PART ONE: Hodgson and Carnacki<\/strong>
\nWe commence with an introduction to WHH and an unapologetic nod to perhaps his best-known character, Carnacki the Ghost Finder. With comments by Tim Prasil<\/strong>, occult detective chronologist and author, and musings by John Linwood Grant<\/strong> on Carnacki and the Cheyne Walk origins of Tales of the Last Edwardian<\/em>.<\/p>\n

9 October \u2013 PART TWO: The Voice of Horror<\/strong>
\nIn which we interview the talented Wayne June<\/strong>, covering his narration of WHH stories and some of his other excellent horror recordings. Includes honourable mentions of related creepy audio for those who like fear and anxiety to seep in through their ears.<\/p>\n

16 October – PART THREE: Hodgson’s Legacy<\/strong>
\nIn which we provide an unscientific examination of those authors writing stories influenced by WHH, lead by an interview with the prolific William Meikle<\/strong>. We also delve into David Langford’s<\/strong> ‘Dagon Smythe’ parodies, Chico Kidd & Rick Kennett’s<\/strong> 472 Cheyne Walk,<\/em> and other works inspired by WHH.<\/p>\n

19 October – PART THREE AGAIN: More Hodgson’s Legacy<\/strong>
\nIn which we delight in a bibliography of Hodgson pastiches by James Bojaciuk<\/strong>, with more coverage of authors who have drawn inspiration from Hodgson’s work.<\/p>\n

23 October – PART FOUR: Hodgson the Innovator<\/strong>
\nIn which we praise his originality – his weird sea stories, The Night Land<\/em>, The House on the Borderland<\/em> and critics’ views. Features Hodgson scholar Sam Gafford<\/strong> on his noted involvement in the field, WHH’s publishing history and mention of others researching or promoting WHH.<\/p>\n

30 October – PART FIVE: The Diskos is Sheathed<\/strong>
\nIn which we switch off the electric pentacle and relax with a few closing comments, including a free creepy story from John Linwood Grant<\/strong> and a hearty thanks to all who have participated.<\/p>\n
