The Midnight Eye Files
William Meikle · 3 novels · 2 novellas · 10 short stories · 1 collection · 2005–2025
The Midnight Eye Files opens with The Amulet, the first of William Meikle's novels blending hardboiled crime-mystery plotting with dark fantasy and horror elements. The series follows the same investigator across multiple books (The Sirens, The Skin Game, Rhythm and Booze, Hellfire) rather than telling one continuous story. Meikle, a horror writer, has since gathered entries into omnibus volumes.
