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.

“Peace does not appear so distant as it did. I hope it will come soon, and come to stay; and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time. It will then have been proved that, among free men, there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet; and that they who take such appeal are sure to lose their case, and pay the cost.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Sheriff, have you ever watched a friend dying before your eyes and not been able to help? That’s the worst of it. Being helpless. It’s particularly tough when you’re a physician and you know what’s wrong with him, and there isn’t a single solitary thing you or anyone else can do.”
—Robert M. Fresco. Jack Arnold. Prof. Gerald Deemer (Leo G. Carroll)
