Wanted to share the latest on The Demonologist‘s voyage towards the screen. Today, The Hollywood Reporter (and now elsewhere) is reporting that hot screenwriter Jonathan Herman has been hired by ImageMovers and Universal to do a re-write on the script.
I’m excited by this for a number of reasons, most if not all of which can’t be discussed publicly yet!
Anyway, here’s the story, with additional details:
Over at Amazon.ca, in the I-Sure-As-Hell-Wasn’t-Expecting-That Department, The Demonologist has been picked as one of the Ten Best Books of the Year So Far! It’s also one among only two Canadian works of fiction selected (along with Lisa Moore’s new novel, Caught). The Demonologist holds the #8 slot overall.
This is surprising and amazing, to say the least. Thanks, Amazon.ca editors! If you were looking to make somebody’s morning today, your work is done.
Here’s the press release and the complete list:
It’s a sunny day here in Toronto. That wouldn’t be such a remarkable claim except that the preceding hundred days have felt like they’ve been covered with a grey canvas tarp. But hey, I’m not complaining, because the sun is here now…
…AND The Demonologist is on the Maclean’s Bestseller List here in Canada for an 8th straight week! Maybe I’ll celebrate by actually going outside and feeling some of that sunshine on my face.
What a great way to push back against a gloomy Monday morning: waking to see that The Demonologist was chosen by the Mail on Sunday (UK) as its Thriller of the Week!
“[The Demonologist] is a chilling exploration of how we all have to do battle with our own demons.” – Mail on Sunday (UK)
Today is The Demonologist‘s publication day in Britain (and Ireland and Australia too) and I’m trying to figure out how to best mark the occasion. Hmmm…
Ah, who am I kidding? Tonight, there will be beer followed by a viewing of the Evil Dead remake.
…who’ve helped put The Demonologist on the Maclean’s Fiction Bestseller List in Canada for a 5th straight week!
Pleased as all heck to see The Demonologist on the Globe and Mail Canadian Fiction Bestseller List for a fourth straight week (and the #1 hardcover)!
And in other news, the zipper on my jeans just broke. Coincidence? Yeah. Probably just coincidence.

Holy smokers.
The Demonologist is #2 on the Maclean’s Hardcover Fiction Bestseller List for a second straight week! (Four weeks straight on the list, and four weeks straight as the #1 Canadian hardcover).
I’m so thrilled I think I’m going to shave. (My face). With a new razorblade!
I heard last night that The Demonologist is to get a Second Printing by Simon & Schuster in the US! Which means that, if you want a First Edition (and all the enormous investment upside that such a purchase entails)…now’s the time to get in.
(Personally, I’ve banked my entire retirement savings on First Edition hardcovers. Foolish? We’ll see. Oh yes. We’ll see…)
Excited – and very grateful – to see The Demonologist on the Maclean’s Fiction Bestseller List here in Canada for a third straight week…at #2 this week!!
Thinking I might go wild and head up the street for a slice of pizza to celebrate. That’s right, I’m that kind of crazy.
