Hello,

I just wanted to say that I am glad I found this forum. I just finished reading the Adversary Cycle for the first time and I have been unable to discuss it with anyone around here because no one I know has ever read it. I read The Keep about 10 years ago, thought it was fantastic, and wished that there were more to the story. Then I find out, by accident actually, about the Cycle and I don't think I've ever been so engrossed in an epic narrative as I have been with this one.

For that I would like to say, "Thank you Mr. Wilson!"

Now, onto the Repairman Jack novels.

Looking forward to reading/discussing in this forum.

Ok...who's watching?

Back to my every Sunday night glued to True Blood. I just love this series. At least these vampires have bite...lol

I just love Pam and Jessica. The queen...meh...she can fall on her own stake.
Andy is a trip....giving poor Jason advice. And Jason mad at "himself"...lol, that was hysterical. But I wonder if the bullet holes Jason saw are prophetic?
Lafayette...what can you say.... practically every line from him has me in fits of laughter.
The dream scene between Sam and Bill got a few gaks from someone...lol and yet the 2 girls got a "now you're talking"

I'll stop with the basement scene with Eric and his new dancer. Can ya say...oh my!

Dolan's Cadillac, it's based on the novel by Stephen King's short stoty. Christian Slater played Dolan.

I read it in "Nightmares and Dreamscapes". It's a revenge story but I didn't get particularly any impression. Honestly I almost forgot detail. But as the plot unravels, I recalled the ending. Wow, THAT's perfect revenge!

I got this pic of the Annoying Orange Facebook page.

I found it appropriate.

Am rereading the series, trying to get all the players straight in my head (hah!) just finished Legacies, and was surprised at Jack's discomfort in the woods, as I have recently finished Secret Histories, in which he is all over the Barrens.
Oddly, this in no way detracted from the enjoyment of the story, now I have to dig up my copy of, what, is Conspiracies next?

Oh, yeah, and hi, everybody.

First of all, let me say that I was disappointed with this movie, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. It was unintentionally funny. Outrageously so. If John Waters redid Species without the gore and killings, he'd have made Splice. Here's what you can expect: beastiality, incest, rape, child abuse, and transgenderism. Of course, this is all played against the allegorical story of raising a child, in the same way that David Lynch's Eraserhead was about raising a child. So, forget your notions of seeing a scare-fest and perhaps wait for the rental. Not quite the level of Plan Nine from Outer Space, but almost as funny.

P.S. I felt so icky after the movie, I had to take a shower.

Any updates on when Black Wind and The Keep will be released either on the Kindle or through Smashwords? Mr. Wilson had originally mentioned a possible June release.
Thanks, Steve

To Mr. F. Paul Wilson-
I have been a fan of horror novels (and movies) since my 14th year. At that time in 1987, I found and fell in love with Stephen King. About three years ago, I popped into a secondhand bookstore and was looking through the major discount racks and found one of your books. I had been looking for Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Jonathan Kellerman, Robin Cook or John Steinbeck(not horror I know, but wonderful nonetheless). I had found a few of my favorite authors' titles, but then I happened to pick up one of your books. The title "The Haunted Air" intrigued me. Then, lo and behold, you were verified and I was hooked. The inside cover pronounced that Stephen King is the "President of F. Paul Wilson's fan club". I grabbed that book, ran out of the store and furiously read it in about 2-2 and a half hours. Since that time, I have been utterly hooked on any work of yours I can afford to put my hands on. (especially anything about Repairman Jack) Your ability to call upon and create amazing supernatural (and fully believable) situtations is a true pleasure. Thank you for all your marvelous works and I anticipate fully reading many more of your books in the future. Karen Ream

How about this guy...



Josh Holloway. He's got great range as an actor - he is convincing from the sweetest most tender scenes to the most chillingly violent. In fact, it was seeing him connect to that place of deep, dark rage that convinced me he would be perfect for RJ.

I've heard the phrase "if looks could kill" a million times, but I'm not sure I ever really saw it until I saw this:




It's much better in action: http://abc.go.com/watch/clip/lost/SH0067...quick-cuts (spoiler alert: this is a "Previously on Lost" clip from season 6)

The only potential drawback I can see is that Holloway in real life is about 4 years older than Repairman Jack is in the books. Now, if Beacon would get off their butts and make a movie, it's a non-issue. The longer they wait, though, the more great possibilities we lose.

This movie is a true life story about a writer for the LA Times, Steve Lopez(played by Robert Downey Jr, who is superb in this movie) who runs into a homeless man who was a student at Julliard. The writer decides to write about the man, Nathaniel Ayers(played by Jamie Foxx who is really good as well) and the movie deals with the relationship that forms.

I liked this movie much much more than I expected to. It deals with the issues of homelessness, mental illness and the issues facing anyone who wants to try and help out. It illustrated that the issue is much more complicated than most movies like this do.

I would highly recommend this movie, if you only see if for Robert Downey Jr's performance it would be worth it.
