The latest:

Hello TNC.com readers!
With a baby on the way in August, updates here have been lacking, though the following should more than make up for it.
Firstly, The Ninth Configuration is being re-released very soon in paperback format with brand new artwork (see website link for image).
Furthermore, directly from Bill (with more info to come!) —
“I've finished a new non-fiction book that's part funny memoir and part proof of life after death. It's called NOT A HORROR NOVEL, A Wild Ride in Search of the Soul. Also, The Ninth Configuration is presently being converted to Blu-ray. Cemetery Dance is planning publication of six of my screenplays [note: listed in a previous update], including my first draft of ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST. We're casting THE EXORCIST play in hopes of a Broadway run. Next week I MIGHT have some word on THE EXORCIST mini-series. I'll tune you in.”
Lots happening this year. Stay tuned!
In addition, Bill stated the following when I queried a Blu-ray release of Legion (The Exorcist III) —
“Regarding Legion, Warner Brothers is doing an all-Exorcist package which will include a Blu-ray, though without any features. As for my Julie Kinderman work-in-progress, I've competed about 80 pages that I'm quite happy with and have a single-spaces 35 page treatment to work with but have found it difficult to go back to it inasmuch as it is a pure “entertainment” and I feel I'd rather be remembered for Dimiter, Crazy, and Not A Horror Novel as my farewell works rather than an excursion into the horror pits. We shall see. how the Muse moves me.”
Ryan, thanks for posting all of this and for connecting us to Ninth Configuration, Exorcist and WPB news 🙂
My pleasure.
Also, I just noticed this about the new publication of TNC – had no idea:
Published in 1967 and then extensively revised in 1978, The Ninth Configuration is a fascinating look at madness, philosophy, and the nature of religious belief. Both The Ninth Configuration and Twinkle, Twinkle 'Killer' Kane have been out of print for decades, but this new edition combines both novels with a long essay by Mark Kermode.
Wow, more from Mark Kermode. That'll be a fascinating essay.
RatBoy, it seems Shout Factory don't have a licensing deal with Warner Brothers, so I assume they can't do anything with a Legion Blu-ray.

Hmmm, this is odd. I received it today and neither of those things are included. I’ll ask Bill about it.

Ryan, are you saying the Mark Kermode essay was missing?
Ah, it appears they mixed it up with this edition that I helped assist with the alternate cover images for towards the end a few years back:

The Mark Kermode bit is in this version.
