The Green Ghost: Declassified
By Win Scott Eckert & Eric Fein
Now available direct from Moonstone Books!
The Green Ghost—magician sleuth George Chance—returns! Once a debunker of the supernatural, the Green Ghost terrorized criminals with his horrific skull-face and wraithlike abilities. But criminologist Chance came back from Europe changed—for his wartime experiences taught him: the occult and night creatures were real! Thrill to new prose and comic book tales featuring a multitude of murderers, monsters, and crossovers with I.V. Frost, the Domino Lady, and more!
I hope that Sax Rohmer would be pleased by my Green Ghost/Domino Lady crossover tale, "Dame Sinestre."
This project has been brewing for almost eight years. I'm very happy to see our hard work come to fruition and hope you'll check it out.
Authors: Win Scott Eckert, Eric Fein, Howard Hopkins

Book birthday, part two....
The Green Ghost: Declassified has arrived!
I have two solo short stories, and one cowritten with Eric Fein. Eric has several prose tales and two short comic stories.
Spot & comic illustrations by David Niehaus.
Limited edition cover art by David; trade edition cover art by Malcolm McClinton.
Book design by Erik Enervold; published by Joe Gentile at Moonstone.
Plus, a bonus tale, never-before-published, by the late Howard Hopkins.
One of my solo tales is a sequel to Howard's story. In the other, the Green Ghost teams with the Domino Lady against a very sinister, almost Rohmer-esque lady... And in my collaborative tale with Eric... Zombies! Under Broadway!!

Very pleased that The Green Ghost: Declassified is back from the printer, and I'm told the books look great. The publisher will ship them to retailers next week, so customers should receive their books in December!
Of course, if you haven't already, you can still order the book direct from Moonstone.

Between this and my prior note that my nonfic Star Wars essay is coming out soon, it's welcome the good news that I have two books coming before the end of the year.

Four Doc Ardan Tales
I received my contributor's copy of Black Coat Press' DOC ARDAN: THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN last week. This volume contains several French pulp tales by Guy d'Armen (translated and "retold" in English by editors Jean-Marc and Randy Lofficier), as well as newer stories by writers such as Jason Scott Aiken, Rick Lai, and John Peel.
I have four contributions:
I have four contributions:
- "Iron and Bronze" - cowritten with Christopher Paul Carey
- "The Eye of Oran"
- "Les Lèvres Rouges"
- "The Vanishing Devil"
The stories by latter-day writers utilize Ardan as a pastiche stand-in for Doc Savage.
Those who are sharp-eyed or versed in popular fiction will pick up references from Jules Verne, Sax Rohmer, Ian Fleming, H. Rider Haggard, Walter Gibson, J.-H. Rosny Aine, Philip José Farmer, Pierre Benoit, Albert Camus, Harry Kumel, Leo Malat, Dave Stevens, Vladimir Volkoff, H. P. Lovecraft, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, among others.
The latter three tales listed above were among my first published stories. They were not rewritten for this volume. Be kind. :-)

It's also worth noting that our friends at Altus Press are reprinting the entire series of original Ghost/Green Ghost pulp novels and stories by G. T. Fleming-Roberts. The first volume is George Chance: The Ghost Omnibus, Volume 1.
Finally, I'd like to call out that our stories are a continuation of the original George Chance stories—not a "reboot." As such, we we view our tales as complementary—not competitive—with the new Green Ghost tales published by our New Pulp colleagues at Airship 27: George Chance-The Green Ghost, Volume 1.
The Green Ghost - original pulp covers
With The Green Ghost: Declassified just around the corner from Moonstone Books, a quick revisit of the original pulp covers is timely. Enjoy!

I'm especially pleased to announce the existence of a previously unpublished Green Ghost story by the late Howard Hopkins. Howard was a fantastic writer and a pulp expert. Hopefully the rescue of this tale and it's inclusion in this collection begins to pay back, in some small way, the inspiration and friendship which Howard showed me.
