Hugh Howey Teases Adaptation of Novel

On the heels of the news that AMC is developing a TV series based on Hugh Howey’s Wool comes a tease from Hugh about yet another adaptation on a book of his he says “never gets mentioned.”

This has started speculation on Twitter, but note that Hugh says “novel” never mentioned. This narrows things down by cutting out his shorts, but not by much. His novels, excluding Wool, are:

• Molly Fyde
• The Hurricane
• The Shell Collector
• I, Zombie
• Beacon 23
• Half Way Home

I know some of you are probably screaming internally that Sand should be on that list. But note that it was announced last year that Sand is with SyFy, and people do talk about Sand quite often.

My novel most likely to be adapted for television is one that never gets mentioned. The team behind this project is A+ and motivated as hell. Gonna be some surprised fans when the announcement is made.

TheDownDeep.net’s New Logo

TheDownDeep.net has been down for a while, but with the recent news of a show in development at AMC, it’s back! It took quite a bit of manual reposting from the Wayback Machine, but it’s here, sans comments. If you’d like to discuss stories posted going forward, please register for the site.

In addition to the site coming back, I’m very happy to unveil the new logo for TheDownDeep.net.

Going forward, we hope to see more activity in the way of the AMC show in development. In the meantime, let us know if there’s anything you’d like to see on the site, whether it be chapter reviews of the books or casting speculation (okay, never mind, we’ll do those anyway) or anything else.

Also new is an Instagram account for The Down Deep, so be sure to follow it:

TheDownDeep.net has a new logo (and this spiffy new Instagram account)! What do you think? #wool #downdeep
