I can't say I knew about Immelmann's work. My Ironclaw Black Dogs were based on the legendary specters of the British Isles. As I'm sure you've noticed, a number of my concepts are based on various mythical and legendary creatures.
Before circumstances caused me to drift away from Ironclaw, I had another story partly worked out for Rafferty.

The latest story, some joe, armed only with a flashlight, snooping around an abandoned building at night (something I NEVER do) encounters a terrible almost-lovecraftian monster whose anatomy speaks of evolutionary lines alien to earth since its Cambrian. And it's hostile. No wonder the guy dropped what he was carrying.
Immelmann is skilled at depicting dangerously decayed ruins, deserted houses with an aura of deadly soul-horror....

Probably not exactly my cup of tea. I've never been especially fond of horror stories myself. I do have a few concepts that could venture into that territory, but I don't know how well I could pull them off.
