"It'd creeped over the far edge of the rock, just a hand at first, long fork-like fingers gripping the dead animal like a doll. Then I saw the head, and it grinned at me, bright golden eyes cutting the darkness like two beacons. It was as though it knew I was there and had waited for the most opportune time to make its grand entrance and scare the piss out of me, which it did, but I hadn't noticed that until later.
"When I finally made it past the dreadful glow of its eyes, the rest of the thing's face came into focus..."

DEEP IN THE DARKNESS & THE DEMONOLOGIST to be adapted by G. William Stechman for film
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Monday December 19th, 2005
Bram Stoker Award Finalist MICHAEL LAIMO and Threading Over Dark writer/director G. WILLIAM STECHMAN have reached an agreement to adapt two of horror author Laimo's novels, Deep In The Darkness and his most recent publication, The Demonologist for the silver screen. Stechman will write the feature film adaptation for both novels, using Laimo's notes and novels as the source material for the scripts. Once scripting of both films is complete, Laimo and Stechman will shop The Demonologist to studios for dramatic rights acquisition, whereas Stechman hopes to produce Deep In The Darkness independently.
Deep In The Darkness is a chilling and atmosphere-drenched horror fable concerning a doctor from New York City who moves to a small town. Once there, the doctor and his family find that the town is controlled by many things outside their control, including a legend concerning subterranean creatures which lurk in the woods outside the residents' homes. The Demonologist concerns an aging rock star who returns home to Los Angeles to find that he has a part to play in ritual sacrifices carried out by a demonic cult whose evil is so powerful that their enemy is not only God, but Satan himself.
G. William Stechman recently wrapped the controversial and frightening independent drama Threading Over Dark in Northern California. The motion picture, based on a series of murders which took place in Stockton and Dixon in the mid-1990's, was shot in various locations throughout California and Nevada between October 4th and December 16th. Although not yet complete, Threading has already been selected to run at the INTERNATIONAL WEEK OF FANTASY in Malaga, Spain, Spring 2006. Only a rough cut of the film will be available at that time. Dark will be fully mastered and released to festivals Summer 2006. For further information on the film, please visit www.enterthedark.net or http://www.myspace.com/threading_over_darkwhere you will find trailers and posters for the film, as well as behind-the-scenes footage and desktops.
