DREG TRIVIA
***********
Terry wrote Dreg after spending 2 weeks in New Orleans in 1992.
***********
Dreg's look was inspired by Michael Berryman and Uncle Creepy from the old Creepy magazine.
***********
Late author Rex Miller and Terry discussed a DREG VS CHAINGANG crossover comic series that, sadly, never came to light.
***********
Dreg was optioned for many years by a former associate of LAUREL PRODUCTIONS.
***********
The comic version of DREG appeared in 1997, though the novel was unpublished until 2003 (part of the lengthy film option Terry signed would not permit publication of the book until the film was completed).
***********
Cemetery Dance artist Glenn Chadbourne did some of his earliest work on DREG and was a huge supporter of the story.
***********
DREG was largely influenced by Theodore Sturgeon's BRIGHT SEGMENT.
DREG is a novel written by Terry M. West that is a wild cross between Misery, Silence of the Lambs and Deliverence. FEVER DREAMS (the production company responsible for Terry M. West's FLESH FOR THE BEAST)has optioned the novel for a film adaptation and creator Terry M. West has been tapped to write the 1st draft!
"FLESH FOR THE BEAST writer/director [Terry M. West] takes what could have been a run-of -the-mill wolfman story and guides it down a darker path, presenting a fresh take on the lycanthrope myth... West knows how to deliver the scares with gout-fuls of the red stuff."-RUE MORGUE MAGAZINE
Who I'd like to meet:
DREG BACK COVER BLURB:"1940. Louisiana. Madness thrives in the Pointe au Chien and a dark legacy is embraced. A bayou boy is baptized in city blood and a pack as old as time rises from the swamps. A man beast escapes his shackles, and the hunt begins...A hunt that will last for decades. A hunt fueled by the moon. For when the moon is full, the beast rises...and the blood flows..."
This IS "Under the Raven's Wing" by Susan Adriensen starring Kimberly Amato, Jessica Palette (vh1's Scream Queens), Coy DeLuca, and Kamilla Sofie Sadekova.
