Sony Pictures has launched an official site for The Social Network, an upcoming film about the founding of Facebook whose cast includes David Selby. It's scheduled for an October theatrical release. The site includes the first trailer for the film. Unfortunately, it does not show any scenes, but audio clips are included, and David Selby's voice shows up at least twice:

News today that Tim Burton will be producing a film adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's novel, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Grahame-Smith also penned Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, drawing on Jane Austen's novel.

I think we all know who the obvious choice to play Lincoln is, if Burton can see past Depp for 5 seconds.  [snow_cheesy]

All of David Selby's books are now available for direct purchase from his site, including his most recent ones, which had not previously been available through DavidSelby.com. Orders are being processed differently than they have been in the past, so questions should now be directed to the Contact form on the web site.

This gets more into the realm of literary works that have influenced DS. The current New York Review of Books podcast features Joyce Carol Oates discussing Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle.  Naturally, "The Lottery" comes up, and so does the influence of Henry James, particularly The Turn of the Screw. The discussion is related to a written piece by Oates in the October 8 edition of the Review.
