I am not familiar with Thomas Wheeler\u2019s novel The Arcanum<\/a><\/i>, but this description in Variety<\/a><\/i> sounds at least a little interesting:<\/span><\/p>\n

Gold Circle Films has picked up feature rights to Thomas Wheeler\u2019s fantasy-adventure \u201cThe Arcanum\u201d out of turnaround from Miramax.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Arcanum,\u201d Wheeler\u2019s debut novel, is set in 1919 and follows the titular secret society comprising the era\u2019s leading occult investigators \u2014 Arthur Conan Doyle, Harry Houdini, H.P. Lovecraft and Marie Laveau \u2014 as they battle demons descending on New York City, including a serial killer of angels.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hmmm. Set in 1919, you say? I am reminded that James A. Owen\u2019s novel Here There Be Dragons<\/a><\/i> \u2014 which imagines that fantasy writers J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Charles Williams had some supernatural adventures of their own \u2014 takes place only a year or two before that. I can\u2019t help wondering what might happen if these two groups were to meet \u2014 though I don\u2019t suppose the worlds created by Wheeler and Owen are all that compatible.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
