Premise of THE FOLLOWING

THE FBI estimates there are currently up to 300 active serial killers in the United States. What would happen if these killers had a way of communicating and connecting with each other? What if they were able to work together and form alliances as they left a trail of blood across the country? What if one brilliant and charismatic, yet psychotic serial killer was able to bring them all together and activate a cult of believers following his every command?

Doctor Sleep

In September we get Doctor Sleep by Stephen King (Hodder & Stoughton).

Danny Torrance was the young boy with psychic abilities at the centre of The Shining. Now, in this much-heralded sequel, he’s a middle-aged drifter using his “shining” power to comfort the dying – until a tribe of child-torturing paranormals and a young girl in peril reawaken his demons.

Christopher Lee - 90

Yesterday was Christopher Lee's birthday and he is spry 90. He continues to work and thrill audience well into the age that most men are in the ground.

I can thank him for a terrifying childhood. Mother's milk for a latchkey boy was Hammer Films. Lee, along with Peter Cushing, made hours speed by in wide-eyed fear and fascination.

I am certain that my love for reading and all things that go bump in the night was formed here.

His grumbling voice, his piercing eyes, and his ability to instill fear even in the most ludicrous of roles has made him, for decades, one of my favorite actors.

I relish every one of his latest roles; knowing they are soon coming to an end.

But the boy inside me knows I will never out live the terror he and his films showed me.

Again, happy birthday, Mr. Lee! A loyal lifelong fan!
