Blood & Coffee

I'd say don't post the novel at all, at least not here. While it might benefit the novel to have us read it, it doesn't help your short film, because it gives us way too much information. I chose not to read it, for the same reason I won't put my script online when it's done - you know what I mean?

On the other hand, we're all here to learn from each other, so posting the novel or script and have us shoot it down/praise it will help you accomplish a better product...
 
Actually the novel isn't going to give away too much at all. At least not the parts I'm posting. I've found that the joy of a novel is the fact that you can have a character standing at a door for 12 pages and never actually enter or even touch the door. In a screenplay... well dude is through that door in a few shots and there is none of the play of language and introspection that a novel can reveal.

As it is I've used the novel to actually build up the world of the vampire and the rules, so there are absolutely no spoilers. The screenplay actually occurs AFTER the novel ends. The novel was just a way for me to GET there and understand where I needed to go and why...

The short occurs in the space between where the novel ends and the feature length movie begins...
