My latest story collection about David Kincaid is now available from Rocket Ride Books.
In the tradition of The X-Files and Kolchak: The Night Stalker comes a bold new book from master storyteller, William F. Nolan, creator of the global bestseller, Logan’s Run…
A headless corpse. A shape-shifting demon. A house of unspeakable horror. When the case goes cold, baffling L.A. police, David Kincaid is the man – a different kind of investigator with talents both worldly…and otherworldly. Follow Kincaid into the realms of the paranormal and bizarre as he helps cop-friend, Mike Lucero, pick up the trail and solve cases that defy rational explanation, that indeed confront the darkest of forces. Multiple award winner William F. Nolan (Logan’s Run) takes us to the intersection of terror and mystery in a trilogy of tales that will delight crime and horror fans, alike. | 212 pages, ISBN 978-0982332221, $15.95
Here’s a nice little review of Logan’s Run that just popped up.
The author makes a good point about the influence of the MGM movie in 1976 – a year before Star Wars.
In the spotlight today: http://www.theworldoflogansrun.com/ – my good friend, John Rorke, has been faithfully maintaining this excellent website for a very long time.
There are some great things there for Logan fans!
“Sometime in the 23rd Century… the survivors of war, overpopulation and pollution are living in a great domed city, sealed away from the forgotten world outside. Here, in an ecologically balanced world, mankind only lives for pleasure. freed by the servo-mechanisms which provide everything.
There’s just one catch.
Life must end at thirty, unless reborn in the fiery ritual of carousel.”

It was a blast! I had a lot of fun during the weekend, met many fine people, ate good food, drank good wine, and was able to expound at length on Max Brand and Black Masks, experienced the multiple joys of a great dealers room, and in all enjoyed myself to the max.
I want to thank all parties at PulpFest who made this fabulous weekend possible. It was an honor being your Guest of Honor.
Let’s do it again sometime in the future.
Thanks again,
William F. Nolan
I still have the book, the one good old Boris put together, the one that started is all: Tales of Terror, a 1943 World hardcover, featuring authors I’d never heard of – Algernon Blackwood, William Fryer Harvey, Oliver Onions…
Oh, sure, I’d heard of William Faulkner and O. Henry, but never within the context of “terror”.
Boris Karloff edited the book and selected the stories (his glowering face was on the dust jacket). I was fifteen years old when I plunked down fifty cents (half my weekly allowance) for this landmark anthology.
Things would never be the same.
Horror, terror, and dark fantasy had entered my life. The jig was up.
I discovered Ray Bradbury (in Weird Tales), and was soon devouring the dark words of Poe and Lovecraft and Coppard and Machen and Henry James (never dreaming that decades later I would have the grisly pleasure of adapting his ghost classic “The Turn of the Screw” for television).
I met Mr. Karloff himself over lunch in Hollywood and found him to be anything but “terrible”. Soft-spoken, gentle, with kind eyes (that could turn ruthless on screen), he was a sheer delight.
I’m a self-confessed horror addict when it comes to dark fiction, and my retrospective collection, William F. Nolan’s Dark Universe testifies to this abiding passion. I’ve written in a dozen other genres, from crime to sports racing, but I keep returning to my first true love with such books as Urban Horrors, Blood Sky, Nightshadows, and Dark Dimensions.
I was greatly pleased to be voted a “Living Legend in Dark Fantasy” in 2002 by the International Horror Guild – and now come this “Life Achievement Award”, a singular honor.
I could never have done it alone.
Witches
Ghouls
Goblins
Vampires
Ghosts
Demons
Zombies
Werewolves
Dark companions all.
Where would I be without them?
