He is an indestructible, homicidal murderer from the Halloween Series movies. Later redone by former heavy metal front-man from White Zombie, Rob Zombie.

There are several Michael Meyer authors that come up on my browser. None linked to the publisher. I think it could be this literature professor:
"Michael Meyer (Ph.D., University of Connecticut) has taught writing and literature courses for more than 30 years — since 1981 at the University of Connecticut and before that at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and the College of William and Mary. His scholarly articles have appeared in distinguished journals such as American Literature, Studies in the American Renaissance, and Virginia Quarterly Review. An internationally recognized authority on Henry David Thoreau, Meyer is a former president of the Thoreau Society and coauthor (with Walter Harding) of The New Thoreau Handbook, a standard reference source. His other books for Bedford/St. Martin's include Poetry: An Introduction (2010), The Compact Bedford Introduction to Literature (2009); and Thinking and Writing about Literature (2001)."
One reason I think so is that the 2014 Penguin edition adds an Afterward by Gary Scharnhorst, another literature professor.

I hope Charlene is correct. I admire that Michael Meyer because of a poetry anthology he organized.

I'm late to this question (I just read the book) but Charlene is correct - this is the Michael Meyer of the introduction. Here is a link to his CV (see very top of p. 6): https://production.wordpress.uconn.ed...
