Future of Repairman Jack
There has been tentative news of a Repairman Jack movie based on the first novel (The Tomb, or Rakoshi.) Plot setting and elements of the original plot most likely will be altered due to filming location.
A trilogy of young adult novels about Jack's teenage years came out. They do not change the events of the adult Jack's life, but will perhaps elaborate on hints about his past that Jack has dropped in the novels so far. The first, published in 2008, is titled Secret Histories. The second was published in February 2010, and is titled Secret Circles. The final novel in the trilogy, Secret Vengeance, came out in February, 2011.
This trilogy finally puts in print Wilson's stated connection between his supernatural and science fiction via the character of Jack's "Uncle Gurney", the protagonist of his drug-war satire short story "Lipidleggin'", and the ancestor of far-future economic revolutionary Peter LaNague.
F. Paul Wilson, in early 2011, signed a contract to write an additional Repairman Jack trilogy after the completion of the main story arc is completed with The Dark at the End and the heavily revised Nightworld. The new trilogy will focus on the time period immediately following Jack's relocation to New York City. The first book, entitled Cold City, will be published in November 2012.

“Wild Bill was indulging in his favorite pastime of a friendly game of cards in the old No. 10 saloon. For the second time in his career, he was sitting with his back to an open door. Jack McCall walked in, shot him through the back of the head, and rushed from the place, only to be captured shortly afterward. Wild Bill’s dead hand held aces and eights, and from that time on this has been known in the West as “the dead man’s hand.””
