"It's as much fun to scare 
as to be scared" 
~ Vincent Price

Dark Matters by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa

Dark Matters is a full-length suspense thriller by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa about the secrets that hold families together and the terrible truths we sometimes choose to ignore in the people we love.

In an isolated house at the edge of a cornfield, in the mountains of Virginia, something almost beyond belief is happening to the Cleary family. When Bridget Cleary goes missing, in the dead of the night, her husband Michael and son, Jeremy, scramble to help Sheriff Richard Egan find her. Then, as suddenly as she vanished, Bridget reappears, talking about strange visitations and otherworldly beings. Is she lying? Or are supernatural forces at work?

The Power of the Dark Side: Creating Great Villains, Dangerous Situations, and Dramatic Conflict by Pamela Jaye Smith

Who doesn't love the Dark Side? Darth Vader, Cruella De Vil, Tony Soprano — everybody loves a great villain. And every story needs dramatic conflict — internal and external — to really resonate. The Power of the Dark Side is a comprehensive, accessible book, which gives you tools to write the most despicable villains.

Conflict is the very heart and soul of drama. Mythologist Pamela Jaye Smith's latest book explores character conflict and a multitude of ways to achieve it:

Defining the Dark Side helps you select and clarify the world view that influences your characters' actions.

The Three Levels of the Dark Side — personal, impersonal, and supra-personal — offer layers of interweaving conflict.

A roll-call of Villains includes Profiles and Suggestions for creating your own versions of reader's bad-to-the bone favorites.

Learn to match Antagonists to Protagonists, and to use the Sliding Scale of Evil.

INDUSTRY EVENT:  

Where There's Smoke... An Encounter with William B. Davis

BizBooks.net and SchoolCreative Present

Where There's Smoke… An Encounter with William B. Davis!

Book Signing, Interview and Q&A!

One of the most iconic villains in the history of television, the enigmatic Cigarette Smoking Man fascinated legions of fans of the 1990s' hit TV series, The X-Files. Best known as "Cancerman," he was voted Television's Favourite Villain by the readers of TV Guide. The man behind the villain, William B. Davis, is a Canadian actor and director, whose revelations in this memoir will entertain and intrigue the millions of X-Files aficionados worldwide.

But there is more to Davis' story than just The X-Files.

William B. Davis' extensive acting experience began when he was a child in Ontario in the 1950s, and grew to encompass radio, theatre, film, and television. At the University of Toronto, where he graduated with a degree in philosophy, he turned his hand to directing, a move that took him to theatre school in Britain and a directing career. There, he reconnected with his undergraduate colleague, Donald Sutherland, and worked at the National Theatre, with such notables as Sir Laurence Olivier, Dame Maggie Smith, and Albert Finney.

Join us as William B. Davis discusses his career, reads from excerpts from his book, and answers audience questions. There may even be a few insights about the highly anticipated return of The X-Files!!

When: November 15th at 7PM.

Where: SchoolCreative – Institute of the Arts (210 – 112 East 3rd Ave, Vancouver BC, V5T 1C8)

This is a free event!

THE BIZ INTERVIEW:

 

Sara Bynoe

In her own words, Sara Bynoe likes to have fun. In Vancouver's comedy scene and creative circle, her idea of fun is more often than not her own live events, with "Say Wha?! Readings of Deliciously Rotten Writing" being her signature creation and others like "Teen Angst Night" and "Novelty Act" also entertaining the masses.

Between live events, performing, and creating material, Sara Bynoe is a very busy lady, but she spoke to us about the method behind her madness and what live comedy shows need to be effective.
