I see Helena Bonham-Carter as Proserpine, Philip Glenister as Jack....<br />If you need a proof reader for your next book?<br />Thanks again and good luck.Leifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09158056037751796469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201035340379387456.post-19959929400927935282010-08-02T08:12:10.885-07:002010-08-02T08:12:10.885-07:00Hi Leif, glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah, I was hugely ...Hi Leif, glad you enjoyed it!<br /><br />Yeah, I was hugely influenced by Dennis Wheatley but wanted to make it as believable as possible. I wanted to do the same with Proserpine (and other devils and demons that appear in the next book) and make her as real as possible. I was definitely influenced by Neil Gaiman's Sandman graphic novels where he has Death as a punk/Goth but the character in Nightfall is based on someone I know (a girl, not a devil, obviously!)Stephen Leatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179238880325952527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201035340379387456.post-27173368843252144542010-08-02T06:54:59.490-07:002010-08-02T06:54:59.490-07:00As a longstanding fan of your books (Solitary Man ...As a longstanding fan of your books (Solitary Man still one of my most favourite novels), wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up Nightfall - inevitable comparisons to Dennis Wheatley, the master of occult thrillers. I read all his books as a kid. I needn't have worried - what a story! Great characters, and what's more the whole thing is believable, well almost! Where did you get your inspiration for Proserpine? Nasty piece of work but she seems familiar somehow? I read in two days whilst convalescing from mother of all tummy bugs, couldn't put it down. It even came into the wee room with me on numerous occasions! If I had the talent to write a novel it would be something like Nightfall. Roll on the next Jack Nightingale novel!!Leifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09158056037751796469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201035340379387456.post-37215174978242845212010-07-30T19:17:45.822-07:002010-07-30T19:17:45.822-07:00Yeah, but after giving Nightfall three stars you m...Yeah, but after giving Nightfall three stars you might end up dying horribly!Stephen Leatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179238880325952527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201035340379387456.post-22097089036157967162010-07-30T17:03:56.907-07:002010-07-30T17:03:56.907-07:00In that case I look forward to seeing my name in a...In that case I look forward to seeing my name in a future book!!!!<br /><br />Nick BrettAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
