I saw the Quarry short a few years ago at Bouchercon and it
was excellent, hard and tight in all the right ways. Nice
low-key performances, and a killer twist. It would have made
a great little episode on FALLEN ANGELS.
Collins has really made the most out of that little tale.
First a short story, then a short film, then it served as the
opening bit for the recent THE LAST QUARRY novel, and is
currently being developed as a feature film, as they
say.
When the film comes out, maybe he can do the novelization
too. Or the comic book. Or the novelization of the comic book
adapted from the film based on the novel based on the short
film based on the short story.
