"My werewolf novella, "The Skin Trade", originally published way back when in 'Night Visions 5, has been optioned for film by Mike the Pike Productions…And about time. I've always thought there was a terrific movie in "The Skin Trade", but somehow no one has ever optioned it till now.
The novella is a horror/mystery cross set in a decaying rustbelt city and featuring a hot young female private eye and a hypochondriac lycanthrope, how's that for high concept? Randi and Willie are still favorites of mine.
The novella won the World Fantasy Award too, which is how I got that head of H.P. Lovecraft that looks down over my living room. I hope that Mike The Pike Productions does a kickass job with it."

Really it means nothing, lets say he makes 10 million dollars on some deal with skin trade, and the market does not care, and the share price barely moves. he has the money..what do you have.. $500 or $1000 worth of a 0003 stock? See where i'm going with this.. the only way you or share holders can profit on the skin trade if it hits big, is if the share price goes on a run. that may never happen even if mikp lands millions for the deal.
That is not a fact. There is a comic company producing skin trade as we speak. Also another graphic novel owned by someone else. So do you actually know what MIKP owns. If you look on Marks blog there is a reason why he said he is trying to purchase the rest of the rights for Skin Trade. I can pull the link if you want but I am sure you have access to the blog to read it. MIKP owns a script written by MIKP that is it.
