227I was a soldier (an MP) on duty in Berlin. Nights in the Olympic Stadium, the home of the Royal Military Police in 228Berlin, were long ones. This was 1967, long before the Wall came down. I was reading my favourite literature: 229macabre stuff of course. Some of it was good, some bad, and some bloody awful! I thought maybe I could do better. 230I was keen on Lovecraft, in fact I had been collecting his books for several years. He'd been published (posthumously) 231by August Derleth at Arkham House, Wisconsin, USA. And A. W. Derleth was the publisher and editor of some of the 232collections I had been reading. Usually very good stuff. 233So I wrote some short stories "after" Lovecraft, and I sent them to Derleth. This was a good idea but badly executed! 234First, I didn't know a thing about publishing, an editor's basic requirements, the proper approach, etc. And I certainly 235didn't know that Derleth was the dean of macabre publishers! 236I don't know what he must have thought of those first manuscripts ... single-spaced on weird-sized military paper, 237badly typed, stapled in the top left corner and unnumbered, rolled up and posted to him surface mail (from Berlin, in 238a tube?) Later, I discovered they'd taken all of five weeks to get to him. But can't you just see him at his desk, having 239to nail these damn things down in order to read them? 240Anyway, he bought them, published them, and Arkham went on to publish two books of my short stories and a short 241novel, all in hardbound editions. I owe a lot to August Derleth. But then, so do a lot of people. His publishing house 242was a who's who of all the old and the best weird writers. 243God knows where I got the nerve...</p> 244 </div> 245 </div> 246 </div> 247 <!-- faq --> 248 249 250 <!-- faq --> 251 <div class="card card-collapse"> 252 <div id="headingTwo" class="card-header" role="tab"> 253 <h5 class="mb-0"> 254 <a aria-controls="collapseTwo" aria-expanded="false" class="collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseTwo"> 255 2.

How does a professional artist 262visualize a scene from a writer's mind? What inspired the builder to place his first brick â and how did the architect 263develop the design in the first place? Who explained to the moorhen chick, before it emerged from its egg, that its 264first effort would be to jump in the water and swim? I'm a writer! Ideas are what it is all about.

I don't believe in writer's block. I DO believe in mental idleness. But to admit to writer's block
285is like saying you can't think. But we have to 286think even to ... to think! So I force myself. I just keep writing, and if it works â good! And if it doesn't, I change it around until it DOES work. Sometimes it's 287very HARD work.

He had had a good run: he was eighty-four. But when he was lying there in his box I thought of all the 427years â twenty of them â that I'd been away from home, and all the conversations we had never had. I mean, my father was only a miner, but still you would be hard pushed to find a more intelligent man â and even harder to find a better gentleman. I would have liked to tell him I loved him, I suppose. So I went across to his local pub and bought two pints, one for him and one for me. I helped him drink his, too, and I imagined I was talking to him. I got to tell him some of the stuff I should have told him a long time before. That was the germ of Necroscope.
