Want to know more about William Hope Hodgson<\/strong><\/span> and his weird fiction, or about Carnacki the Ghost Finder? Then look no further. Five years ago this October we ran a month-long celebration of Hope Hodgson, and since then we\u2019ve dipped back many times into his maritime fiction, his poetry, his weird novels, and of course his occult detective Carnacki the Ghost Finder. Plus we\u2019ve looked at a whole range of pastiches and projects drawing on elements of WHH\u2019s work, and included many audiovisual links.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We have tons of new weird and detective fiction stuff to mention some time soon, but being in an Octobral mood, we realised that searching for WHH or Carnacki on our site throws up far too many results, including dozens of incidental mentions, so five years on, we thought we\u2019d pull together an index of all the key pieces instead.<\/p>\n

N.B. A lot of our early work was done alongside our late and dear friend Sam Gafford, an authority on the subject, who used to maintain his own more scholarly site on Hope Hodgson, and we\u2019re pleased to see that Sam is well-represented below.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As it happens, while we were doing this, we saw that Willie Meikle<\/strong> mentions his work on Carnacki, and his forthcoming Carnacki collection Starry Wisdom & Other Stories<\/em>, in a recent podcast interview with Charles Christian<\/strong> (Willie comes on around 14:30 minutes in).<\/p>\n
