Any updates on how this is coming along? 🙂

Speaking for myself, my essay on DEMONS FIVE, EXORCISTS NOTHING is going absolutely splendidly; I really pick it apart. I have never had so much fun writing an essay. It’s hard work, but it keeps my brain sharp. 🙂

On behalf of the other writers, and our editor, thank you for your continued interest! Exorcist fans and Blatty fans alike will enjoy this book of writings immensely, based on what I know of the other essays’ topics and writers; intelligence and reverence abounds. It could become our favorite new book — if… i may be so bold. 🙂

I’d love to read this… I think I should read Ninth configuration and Demons 5 before though 😉 They’re hard to find if I don’t want to get ’em of the internet 😛

This sounds like a tasty endeavor.

Doesn’t it! Would sit perfectly on your site, too, Ryan, especially as your web goes beyond the obvious work of Blatty and into the majority of his post Exorcist writing/films.

Hey, guys. Finished and just turned in the first draft of my essay on ‘DEMONS FIVE’. 5012 words. A draft or three more by the mid-July due date, and I’ll be able to relax. The hard part is over, I think; now it’s just a matter of refinining and getting everything cited. Thanks for your interest in this book of essays of which I am but one of many (12?) lucky blokes participating.

Sincerely,

M.I.K.E.

Friends,

Just wanted to let you know the book is going very well. Just a few essays are due now. Might even have room for one or two, so if you are interested and are a fast writer (or something unpublished) contact me at khraftstar@yahoo.com

Cheers & God Bless

Friends,

Long time reader, first time poster, new to message boards, pleased to meet you!

I am writing you all, as I would like to know whether there are any writers here that would be interested in producing an essay on an aspect of William Peter Blatty’s fiction (not the adaptations, but the texts themselves)? I ask, as the other day, I received a contract from an academic publishing house for me to edit a volume of literary criticism on William Peter Blatty. I’d like the study to encompass all his fiction, from “The Exorcist” and “Legion”, to “Elsewhere” and even his comedies. I will be able to pay the essayists and the deadline is mid-next year.

If you’re interested, e-mail me off-list at khraftstar@yahoo.com

Thanks again and look forward to chatting with you through the board!

Cheers & God Bless
Benjamin Szumskyj
