Carey Vision

In a superb piece of news my chum George at top SF publishers Orbit reports that Mike Carey has a deal to turn the Felix Castor novels into TV series with the same people behind the quality show Midsomer Murders. There does seem to be quite an appetite in TV-land right now for SF and Fantasy which isn't aimed only at we geeks; shows like Medium for instance may use psychic powers but it is the sort of detective/soap drama that my mother would watch. While Devil You Know obviously has horror and supernatural elements to it (quite intriguing ones which Mike will expand on as the series progresses) it is also very much a Noir-ish gumshoe detective yarn which will not alienate the non SF&F audience. Well done, Mike!
