William Meikle

Paranormal and Horror novels and short stories

author William MeikleA 40+ year-old Scotsman, William Meikle is an IT manager by day and fiction writer by night. He has had 4 novels published, Island Life (Barclay Books 2001), The Watchers Trilogy (scroll down to see below) (Black Death Books 2003/4) and The Midnight Eye Files: The Amulet (Black Death Books 2005) There are 2 more novels on the way in 2005/2006. His Scottish short stories are collected in The Johnson Amulet and Other Scottish Terrors (Indypublish 2001).

I’ve had over 130 stories published in the semi-pro genre press, both in paper and on-line magazines and my work has appeared in the UK, Ireland, the USA, India, Greece and Canada.

“Can You Hear Them?” started life as a particulary nasty and vivid recurring dream. Strangely enough, once I’d written the story, I never had the dream again.

  Island Life (Barclay Books 2001)
Watchers: The Coming of the KingThe old wall is a border: England and Scotland, South and North, light and darkness. It is 1745, and the long-awaited night as come. The Bloodking calls his army to battle, and armed with the powers of the undead and the damned, he will bring them South to claim his birthright: The throne of Britain. Only the old Watchers on the wall stand in his way. They, their swords, and their faith. But too much time has passed and the Watch has grown slack and ill-prepared for the coming war. Only Martin and Sean have seen the horrors that lie ahead for humankind. Only they have the power to stop it. Now, these two young officers of the Watch have a duty to perform: Stop the Bloodking. Or die trying.

From the Author
This book came from a walk on Hadrians Wall. I thought….what if it was night, and it waasn’t Picts or Scots I was expecting to attack, but Vampires? And the story just grew, and took on a life of its own. It runs in my head like a Hammer horror version of Zulu. If you liked Cushing and Lee, with added battle scenes and wanton destruction, you’ll like this.
Watchers: The Battle For The ThroneBattle is joined… It is 1745. The forces of the Boy-King have decimated Milecastle. The Thane is dead, another chosen, and Mary Campbell has been taken by the Boy-King as his unholy bride. The town is a scene of carnage and the Watchers have failed…but they may yet have a chance at redemption. Can Martin be a leader to his people in their time of need? And can Sean fulfill his oath without losing his soul? Neither have much time to consider, for the Boy King is on the rampage…and his heir is waiting to be born in the Blood Chapel of Ross-Lynn.
Watchers: Culloden!The conclusion of the critically-acclaimed Watchers series!A great victory has been won, but the war is far from over. The Boy-King now needs his bride…and his heir.Only the young officers of the Watch can stop him. But they have their own battles to face and their own demons to fight. And those inner demons are not proving so easy to control as they are lured to the blood-soaked moors of Culloden for the final confrontation. The dead are rising. A new darkness is fast approaching. Victory is close…but will the hands of Martin and Sean be too bloodied for them to grasp it?
The Midnight Eye Files: The Amulet (Black Death Books 2005)
Lovecraftian entities, jaded PIs, booze, fags and broads in a Glasgow you wont see in the guidebooks.Book Review

Derek Adams is a Glasgow PI with plenty of time on his hands. Until the Bogart Case walks in. A priceless family heirloom has been stolen and everyone in town is looking for it. The stars are right once more, and an ancient evil has been awakened from its dreaming sleep. It was supposed to be an easy case, fast money. But pretty soon Derek is up to his armpits in bodies, femme fatales and tentacles. The city’s dark side has him. And it doesn’t want to let the Midnight Eye go!

The Johnson Amulet and Other Scottish Terrors (Indypublish 2001)Large serpents in lochs, goblins in caves, cursed amulets and sentient animals - they are all here. From Aberdeen to Jura, from the days of the Bruce to the present, Scotland is full of stories. Here are 28 of them from a Scotland you never find in the tourist brochures.
