I loved THE DOORMAN. An exclusive apartment building as seen through the eyes of the doorman. What John Grisham says is right. “A near perfect blend of clever plotting, wicked social commentary, memorable characters, and page-turning fun.”

While changes between books & their movies are inevitable I love FIRST BLOOD—directed by Ted Kotcheff & based on my novel. It’s a terrifically made movie. It seems more realistic each year because its action scenes don’t use computer effects. The realism of the stunts is amazing.

True film lovers take note. Paul Thomas Anderson’s ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER opens in theaters today. It was filmed in my favorite process VistaVision, known for its ultra-clear, ultra-deep image. Not familiar with VistaVision? Here’s an article about it. forbes.com/sites/bennyhar…

I created photo essays for some of the fascinating locations in my Victorian mystery/thriller series. Here’s one for the magnificent Crystal Palace, site of the first world’s fair in 1851 and (in INSPECTOR OF THE DEAD), the site of a historical incident. davidmorrell.net/the-magnificen…

Zack Stentz is the writer, showrunner & exec producer for the proposed streaming series of my Victorian mystery/thriller MURDER AS A FINE ART. Can’t wait to see how this gifted screenwriter of X-MEN: FIRST CLASS & THOR will bring Victorian London to life. deadline.com/2025/08/zack-s…

I became a private pilot to research my novel THE SHIMMER (about the mysterious Marfa lights in west Texas). On one of my flights to various places, I took this photo of the majestic Monument Valley, where many Westerns were filmed.

Fellow writers, here’s an obituary for the semicolon. If I used it 3 times in my novels, that’s plenty. usatoday.com/story/news/wor…

I’m a fan of Bob Odenkirk, known for his role as Saul Goodman on BREAKING BAD and BETTER SAUL. Who knew he wrote poetry? Here he is on NPR talking about how his children helped him turn his poetry into a published collection. npr.org/2025/09/09/nx-…

The name’s been changed for the movie adaption of my novel CREEPERS, but the first poster for DO NOT ENTER is creepy! The production company changed the title because of possible confusion with an earlier movie JEEPERS CREEPERS. No release date yet, but there’s a lot of buzz.

The Authors Guild Bulletin has this recent article. In 1980, US publishers released 45,000 titles. Now the average (from traditional & self-published sources) is 2 million annually. Given the odds, the only reason to be an author is that one absolutely needs to express oneself.
