It’s a gathering of sorts, that puts each character on trial, one way or another, desperately trying to be civilized, while slowly unraveling before our very eyes.ĭirected somewhat simply by Nicholas Viselli, the artistic director of TBTB, the cast rides the wave of this deliberate play as if the play is what is actually driving the action, rather than the undercurrent of its complicated meaning and delivery.

Martin also teased about the plot of the series, and it is a departure from his original work. It will be broadcast on SyFy in the USA, and on Netflix around the world.” If all goes according to schedule, the series should debut this summer, in late July. ((If by some miracles I actually complete enough of my other projects to create some free time, I’ve love to go over there and kill two birds with one flight by visiting both the GOT and NIGHTFLYERS sets… but that remains a long shot, given my current word load)). “NIGHTFLYERS will be shot in the Republic of Ireland, I’m told, on sound stages in Limerick… which will give them access to the same great pool of Irish and British actors that GAME OF THRONES has tapped in Belfast (and considering how many characters we’ve killed, a lot of them should be available). The author said the following about the Syfy series: Nightflyers is coming soon for a 10-episode season on SyFy, and George RR Martin teased the series, which is based on one of his novellas, in a recent blog post. ![]() ![]() ![]() In it Dr Watson stated that these three manuscripts are the real unexpurgated stories of Sherlock Holmes. The framing story is that this was sent to James Lovegrove in 2014 as part of the property of recently deceased Henry Prothero Lovecraft, of whom James is a distant relative. The central conceit is this – this is one of a set of previously unpublished manuscripts purported to be written by Doctor John Watson, ‘the’ Doctor Watson of the Conan Doyle tales.

So a combination of the two was, to put it mildly, a little off-putting, too bizarre to be credible. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu is a staple reread for Halloween and indeed through the year. Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes was a character I first read when I was little, and have reread many times since. ![]() I must admit that, at first, I was rather skeptical. A late entry into our Countdown to Hallowe’en this year (it’s actually published a fortnight later), this (surprisingly) was a book I found difficult to put down. ![]() |
