Still, I wanted Hercule’s twin brother to tell his story. So, I started posting chapters of this now “fan fiction” on Substack. It’s still in a raw form. I hope you enjoy the journey.

The latest episode of my Achille Poirot mystery, “A Death at the Waldorf” has posted. A little background. This is a novel I wrote about 10 years ago and got attention from Random House but no permission from Agatha Christie’s grandson.

Ask me for a list of authors to read if you want to write great horror and Joe Lansdale will be on that list. If you ask me for a crime list, Lansdale will be on the list. Great dialogue? Joe. Pacing? Lansdale. Wild shit that sounds like no one else? Joe Fucking Lansdale.
