Just start at the beginning, and the rest will take care of itself.
Brian James Freeman’s fascinating novella, The Painted Darkness, is one of those rare gems you sometimes find in fiction that manage to effortlessly capture the strangeness of being young. Freeman’s five-year-old, Henry, immediately calls to mind any number of Stephen King’s fictional children, notably Danny Torrence in The Shining or the Loser’s Club in It. But there’s more than a hint of Ray Bradbury in The Painted Darkness – both Dandelion Wine and the darker Halloween Tree seem like inspirations, as does the Robert McCammon pastiche, Boy’s Life. Like the best of homages, though, young Henry’s story moves far beyond imitation, becoming a wholly unique creation under Freeman’s assured pen.
The Painted Darkness concerns itself with classic themes: letting go of childhood, the power with which we wield creativity, and the tricky nature of monsters.

There was a point two years ago when CBS Films put into motion the first adaptation of one of Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp novels. Consent to Kill was going to be the subject of the adaptation, with Antoine Fuqua directing and actors like Matthew Fox, Gerard Butler and Colin Farrell as possible accomplices. That stalled, and perhaps for the better, as it turns out. Because Vince Flynn last year published American Assassin, a prequel story that tells of how Mitch Rapp ends up as a CIA terrorist hunter. (Yeah, I know. Just go with it.) Now that book is going to be the first of his from CBS Films, and Ed Zwick has just been set to direct. Deadline [1] has CBS Films president Amy Baer saying, “We were prepping Consent to Kill when Vince told us he was going to tell Mitch Rapp’s origin story in American Assassin.
