Carnacki: The Watcher At the Gate

Cover and interior art by M. Wayne Miller

The GHOST HOUSE series is back with it’s next book, Carnacki: The Watcher of The Gate and Other stories by William Meikle is the companion book to the original Dark Regions Press book, and Ghost House imprint, Carnacki: Heaven and Hell by William Meikle. The book is designed the same way, and using the same book cloth and original gold foil Ghost House stamp on the signed and numbered edition and the A-Z deluxe edition to be matching companions to the Ghost House hardcover editions of Carnacki: Heaven and Hell.

CARNACKI operates in shadowy occult realms, on the fringes, in places out of sight and out of mind of normal ever yday people. But sometimes the darkness touches the lives of these ordinary folks, and they find they need help – the kind of help that only Carnacki can provide.

In MR. CHURCHILL’S DILEMMA and THE WATCHER AT THE GATE : Carnacki is called on to help a young Winston Churchill in defeating a menace from the east that threatens hostilities in the years before WW1, and in overseeing an experiment that threatens to expose the whole of South East England to an entity from the Outer Darkness.

In CAPTAIN GAULT’S NEMESIS, THE BLUE EGG and THE GRAY BOATS, Carnacki aids another Hodgson character, the aforesaid Captain, in ridding his vessel of an ancient cursed box, in the procurement of a great Arabian gem, and in the salvage of a nautical government experiment gone disastrously wrong.

Hodgson’s concept of the Outer Darkness is inimical and uncaring of the ways of man, and several of these new stories expand on that idea and cross into a territory that could also be considered Lovecraftian, where eldritch beings fight and strain at the boundaries of our existence and only Carnacki can stand against the darkness and the destruction of our reality!
