Sam would have the stature and depth of Sir Malcolm I think.<br /><br />Yes, when the trio enter the lair of the Nosferatu through the opium den was really well done.<br /><br />Sam's role in the Chinese Opium Wars is fleshed out a bit in the Victorian Egyptian thriller I am working on how.<br /><br />I am not a fan or gore either so SAW and HOSTEL will never be seen by me. :-)Roland D.

The pilot seems to be available everywhere.<br /><br />I did think some of the gore gratuitous. Loved the scene where the trio enters the lair—amazing. But the excessive dwelling on Victor's scattered body parts almost made me flip the TV off. I'm a firm believer that horror should scare not disgust, but I know many people wouldn't agree.<br /><br /><a href="http://vrbarkowski.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">VR Barkowski</a>VR Barkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927993233682731113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-81970943329777914282014-05-13T09:19:33.773-05:002014-05-13T09:19:33.773-05:00Hi Roland - I've seen snippet so info on the P...Hi Roland - I've seen snippet so info on the Penny Dreadful - but now you've opened my eyes a little more - I shall look forward to finding out more and then seeing it at some stage ... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-2942203831825002052014-05-12T23:29:16.199-05:002014-05-12T23:29:16.199-05:00I've seen the promos and stuff, but the way yo...I've seen the promos and stuff, but the way you've reviewed it makes me want to watch it on YouTube. I'm in awe of, and of course jealous of, writers prolific as this guy and you.

Unless Amazon sells it through Amazon Instant Video that will be the only one I will see.<br /><br />D.G.:<br />YouTube is showing the first one for free for a time.<br /><br />I do hope it stirs up interest in my work. Cross your fingers.<br /><br />I slept most of the day, healing from the weekend. These weekends take it out of me! Whew!Roland D.

Now this sounds like a great series.....HI, Roland,<br /><br />Now this sounds like a great series... What fun! AND I HOPE it does peak tons of interest for novels, Roland!<br /><br />If anyone deserves to be flung into the limelight it's you! I am still in awe how much you write and so quickly.<br /><br />I am STILL tweaking my first two novels, although the second one is FINALLY done... At least until it's publication. Whenever that may be.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this new series with us!Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.com
