S. Craig Zahler is probably best known as the director of the splatter western BONE TOMAHAWK that came out last year. He's also written a number of books though and one of them comes with a quote by one Edward Lee on the back cover: "It would be utterly insufficient to say that Wraiths is the most diversified and expertly written western I've ever read. You'll smell the stink, taste the blood, feel the grit, hear the screams, and blow the burned gunpowder right out of your nose. Zahler puts his reader into possession of the dim, grim era with the command of guys like Max Brand and Owen Wister, and unleashes an avalanche of action like a genetic cross between Peckinpah, Takashi Miike, and Abel Ferrara." — Edward Lee author of The Bighead and Gast You can actually read the novel's first chapter for free here: http://www.horrortalk.com/features/3466 ... apter.html Anyway, the book has just been optioned for a film adaptation with Ridley Scott set to direct and the screenplay to be written by Drew Goddard. http://variety.com/2016/film/news/ridle ... 201770497/ |

Wetbones: wow, I didn't know about the movie deal. That's awesome news, and as visual as this book is, I think a film version would be stunning! Best Edward Lee |
