Site Update

The site has been updated with the following:
1. THE SERVANTS has been added to the Michael Marshall Smith novels page. It has also been added as the first entry under a new M. M. Smith page, as that's the name under which it will be published in the UK in April. There are covers for both that edition and the upcoming American mass market edition, which is shown there despite the fact will be published in the US under Michael Marshall Smith, as these are both mass market publications. We hope that's sufficiently confusing.
2. A tag cloud has been added to the Breaking News page...
3. General sprucing up...

Established in 2007, the American Library

categories that they feel merit special attention by
adult readers and the librarians who work with them.
We're delighted to report that THE INTRUDERS is one of only eighteen books published in 2007 to be nominated for the 'Adrenaline' list for suspense, thrillers and action adventure...

The Straw Men Are Coming Back... to Comics!

This just in from Zenescope Entertainment:
"Michael has teamed up with Zenescope Entertainment, the company behind the critically acclaimed graphic novel SE7EN (based off the film of the same name) to adapt Marshall’s best-seller, The Straw Men, into a comic book and graphic novel format.
"We are extremely excited to be working with Michael on this project, his book was one of the best and most thrilling reads I've had in a very long time and I always thought it would make for an incredible comic.” said Zenescope president Joe Brusha, “There are so many things we can do visually with this adaptation, I think fans of the novel are going to love what we have in store.” Zenescope is working very closely with Marshall on this adaptation in order to deliver a series that will stay true to his chilling story while also adding an incredible visual element to it.
Eisner award nominee Brett Weldele (Southland Tales: Prequel Saga; Silent Ghost) is providing artwork for the series with cover art by David Seidman (SE7EN)."
Look for The Straw Men to return this June - and keep an eye on the website in the meantime, as we hope to have some graphics tasters of the series very soon!
