11 May 2022 |  From the friendly caves of Pixie Hollow.

 

Harry Houdini was a pretty insane kinda guy. 

 

Many of the things that he could do - which included catching bullets in his teeth and escaping from water torture cells in under two minutes - did not include writing books.

 

This is how that master of horror, H.P. Lovecraft, ended up ghostwriting for Houdini.

 

The arrangement kicked off in 1924. 

 

While I couldn't tell you whether the arrangement existed beyond a short story titled Imprisoned with the Pharaohs, I can tell you that the arrangement was never publicly known while Houdini was alive.

 

The story is now public domain and you can read it here.

 

The types of arrangements you can have with a ghostwriter are many and varied. I'll go into some of those this week.

 

So stay tuned for that!

 

Meanwhile - 

 

1. It's expensive
2. You have to be willing to get dirty, to think, to feel
3. You have to be willing to bare everything about your life or business or methods or whatever it is
4. You have to remember it's a collaboration, not an abdication.
