It's an honor to be featured alongside such intelligent writing, and I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts on the book as a whole.<br /><br />best,<br />JoeJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536096683421557320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28690185.post-34084791018293734272012-11-16T15:20:54.344-08:002012-11-16T15:20:54.344-08:00I loved your review of the book because I have it ...I loved your review of the book because I have it on my nightstand and one day will share my thoughts as well. I also really enjoyed your eloquently summed bottom line thoughts as well Joe. <br /><br />Needless to say again, but Millennium surely was a work of art and I'm equally humbled to be part of this project as well my friend especially in the company of such fine creative people like yourself, Adam, Brian, John and the others I look forward to reading. Great to see the Maddrey eye focused on this.

Without you, "Millennium" would be long gone and forgotten... and that fact is obviously not lost on the creators who put their hearts and souls into the original series. I truly hope the campaign will give us all a chance to revisit the world they created.<br /><br />I was, of course, extremely humbled to see that my little contribution was at the front of the book... between a Chris Carter introduction and a Chris Carter interview! I'm equally humbled to be part of a tribe of such talented writers and artists.

Great article, and I agree with every word you say about storytelling and what <i>Millennium</i> achieves as literature. In terms of the book, your own essay of course has the perhaps unenviable task of opening the entire volume, but I have to say it does this masterfully, setting a context, tone and standard for everything that follows. You are very kind in your appraisal, but if I can be immodest for a moment the book certainly does feel like it has a significance that reflects that of <i>Millennium</i> itself. This is a point we have tried to convey when issuing review copies, and also in the letters accompanying copies of the tome winging their way to Fox executives. Here's hoping someone there recognises and shares that vision such that they support the ultimate mission of <i>Back to Frank Black</i>.Adam Chamberlainhttp://fourthhorsemanpress.com/Chamberlainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28690185.post-22512643086735729462012-11-12T22:00:31.481-08:002012-11-12T22:00:31.481-08:00Really wonderful review Joe.

I always find it really simplistic when someone tries to say there's other crime stuff being shown now or "something with serial killers". Even if you take that statement at face value there isn't the simple respect for humanity that is there in Millennium.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810912006155408243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28690185.post-16817596251283109492012-11-12T20:30:10.573-08:002012-11-12T20:30:10.573-08:00Joe,

We were honored to have you be a part of the book and that's why we kicked off the book with your essay. This goes to show you that a "fan" campaign can really put out something of real quality. I am proud of the entire team and so proud of this book!Troy L. Foremanhttp://www.backtofrankblack.comnoreply@blogger.com
