From the Author

A note to readers
NIGHTMARE'S DISCIPLE was written in 1994 and has taken a few years to get from my desk in the Nightmarium to readers. As someone who prefers novels to short stories, and having been a longstanding fan of the Cthulhu Mythos (I discovered HPL as an adolescent in 1970) and having read a few serial killer novels over the years, I decided to inject the Mythos into a serial killer novel with a contemporary setting. While the Mythos does play a major role in my story, readers not familiar with Lovecraft will find the details of his Mythos presented in an instructive fashion, and be brought up to speed along with one of the story's main characters.

ND is Chaosium's 1st original novel in it's "Call of Cthulhu" fiction series. It is dedicated to Robert Bloch, Lin Carter, and Brian Lumley, and readers will find their deep-rooted influences on me throughout my tale. Other inspirations which color my character-driven tale are my early love of Marvel Comics, my obsession with music (rock, classical, jazz, you name it), the effects horror film and fiction had on me as both man and boy, and my interest in poetry.

Bob Price (who was instrumental in getting my novel published), best-selling author Brian Lumley, Brian McNaughton (The Throne of Bones), and Peter Worthy have read advance copies of my book and all had VERY nice things to say about it, so as you might expect, I'm pleased as all get out! (Anyone interested can read Bob's enthusiastic review of ND in "Crypt of Cthulhu" #100) And Edward P. Berglund has listed my novel as an addition to Bob Price's "A Latter-Day Lovecraftian's Library" on his estimable and highly-informative "The Readers Guide to the Cthulhu Mythos" website.

At present I'm working on a new Mythos novel titled, IN THE FIELDS WHERE THE PLAGUE BURNS, and I'm very pleased to say, Bob Price has accepted several of my texts for the upcoming Chaosium CoC fiction collections (THE BOOK OF EIBON, THE TINDALOS CYCLE, and NAMELESS CULTS THE COMPLETE MYTHOS FICTION OF ROBERT E. HOWARD).
