“Though an Oscar sits on Bill Blatty’s mantel for the screenplay to the movie version, it will always he the hook that stands out in my mind: without benefit of a screen, William Peter Blatty flat out scared the crap out of me—and millions of others. In the process, he also, along with Ira Levin, cracked open the commercial fiction door to allow horror fiction in. This is the same door that Stephen King would kick in a few years later.What many readers may not know is that Blatty (who received t...he Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement in 1998) had a distinguished career in the movies before The Exorcist, producing screenplays for such films as What Did You Do in the War, Daddy? and A Shot in the Dark.After the success of The Exorcist, he continued his film success, writing and eventually directing ("Killer” Kane and The Exorcist III); he also continued to produce fiction, which brings us to the stunning piece that follows.It is not only fitting hut just that we end a book like this with a new short novel from William Peter Blatty.MoreLess
