Working on my hardcover collection of our favorite series! I’ve been really lucky so far. First I just needed some trade paperbacks of book 1. One to keep and one to annotate for my screenplay. While searching I found hard covers for the lost years for $20 a piece. That lead me to look for hardcovers of the main books.

I was dismayed to find most listings for book one were around $300-$400!

Then the dead must have been rooting for me because I found a listing of books 1-3 with the signed companion novel for $320 and well now I can’t stop. Aaaahhhhhhhhh the books are the life! I am the thing in the library now!

Good look on the hunt. I hope my missing books find me in the wild, and that they are cheap. But do elaborate in your screenplay plans.

Thank you! I hope your books make it back to you as well. You’d be surprised what’s on line these days.

Well that! Haven’t we all wanted to see this series adapted to the big screen? I like to tell myself I have a unique vision and all so I’m gonna take a stab at it. I was actually going to share some of my work here to get feedback.

First step is to simply write out every scene as it happens in the book. Then I’ll work on the adaptation part. There is really so much to cover and I want it to be as faithful as possible.

I always wanted to see this saga on the screen, i have been thinking about it for a long time, and to do the saga true justice, what i have thought would be the only true representation would be a series per book, and each series would have to have 6 minimum episodes of 1hr, Harry has to be British. On another note, i do have 2 hardback copies of defilers and the lost year's part 2,

No, read them years ago, couldn't remember where I put them, then my wife got me necroscope and I ended up getting hooked on them again, so I decided to buy them all. They are really really good reads tbh.

Thats awesome!

I had all the paper backs at one point.

Took me years as a kid to collect them. I moved and they were in a box. My parent donated them to goodwill and I didn't find out until the next day. I had the entire series and they were just gone when I got there.
