Pardon a brief pause from our usual programming for a special announcement.
SHSers often contact me on email or come up to me at speeches to express their great admiration for my pal, the novelist Dean Koontz. As a certified FOD, I am often asked what he is writing, when is the next Odd Thomas or Frankenstein book coming out, and will there be any movies made of his newer works? The good news is that Odd Thomas is currently being filmed in New Mexico, to be released next year. Dean is very excited about the project.
Odd Thomas will be played by Anton Yelchin. Stormy, the love of Odd’s life, is played by Addison Timlin.
The last book in the Frankenstein series, Frankenstein: The Dead Town will soon be at a bookstore near you. The next episode of Odd’s ongoing adventure is also in the works. So there is more than enough Koontz in the pipeline to keep his most ardent fans happy and satisfied.
We now return to the hair raising world of non fictional bioethics and the many attacks on human exceptionalism.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
