Samurai and Other Stories


"This collection contains 16 wonderfully wrought tales that will twist and tantalize your mind. You’ll witness unspeakable acts of horrible vengeance. Screams will haunt your waking hours. Never again will you joke about signing a contract in blood. When you’re done at the therapist’s office you’ll thank Mr. Meikle for providing such dark depth to your withered existence."

"Samurai and other stories is a perfect introduction to the worlds and imagination of William Meikle.  These are the sort of stories that show just how important a sense of fun and adventure is to storytelling.  There is a great heritage in this collection, one that deserves to be kept alive.  Meikle is pulptastic."

"Samurai and Other Stories is a reading experience nobody with a liking for the darker genres should miss. The tales in this marvelous collection contain elements of the darkest horror, fantasy, hauntings, suspense and adventure. Although all the stories are written by one extremely versatile author, the variety of tales range from adventures set in historical times to incidents that happen in the here and now. Most of the stories involve the Scottish people, their songs and folk lore."

This sounds like an amazing collection of stories, but what are they about...

In Samurai and Other Stories you'll find numerous ghosts, many Scotsmen, a big blob, some holy relics, some unholy relics, a Mothman, a barbarian, some swordplay, a shoggoth and people that nobody expects.

This collection by William Meikle brings together stories from the past decade in an exploration of the perils of exploring dark places, both external and internal.

Includes: Samurai, Rickman’s Plasma, Home is the Sailor, Turn Again, Inquisitor, The Scotsman’s Fiddle, The Toughest Mile, The Havehome, The Yule Log, Living the Dream, The Shoogling Jenny, The Haunting of Esther Cox, Dancers, The Brotherhood of the Thorns, The Young Lochinvar, and A Slim Chance.
