FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: SEPTEMBER 16, 2007
AUTHOR, SCREENWRITER AND PRODUCER PHILIP NUTMAN KICKS OFF “WET WORK” SIGNING TOUR - First stop is at legendary Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas During “Fantastic Fest”
ATLANTA, GA - Philip Nutman, the multiple award-nominated author of WET WORK and co-screenwriter of the critically-acclaimed Independent feature, JACK KETCHUM’S THE GIRL NEXT DOOR, begins a six month signing tour at the legendary Alamo Drafthouse cinema in Austin, Texas on September 22 and 23.

“Before RESIDENT EVIL, before 28 DAYS LATER, there was Philip Nutman. And there was WET WORK. Thank God the Devil is finally getting his due.”
- TIM SULLIVAN, co-writer/director 2001 MANIACS and DRIFTWOOD
“Philip Nutman is a vital and original talent.”
- Clive Barker.
Following its success as both a signed/limited edition and hard cover (some copies are still available but going fast), WET WORK, the critically acclaimed cult apocalyptic zombie thriller, is now available in trade paperback from Ga.-based Overlook Connection Press (
www.overlookconnection.com) and Amazon.com.
Launched over the Labor Day weekend at Dragon*Con alongside the successful screening of JACK KETCHUM’S THE GIRL NEXT DOOR, WET WORK has been described as “an impressive first novel” (John Scoleri, The Scream Factory) and “…the literary equivalent of a Lucio Fulci movie – yes, it’s that wet – which races along like early George Romero” (author Jack Ketchum).
Other signing dates are currently being finalized. Here is the current schedule as it stands:
September 22/23 – Alamo Drafthouse, TX (times to be announced – Saturday/Sunday) (DraftHouse.com or FantasticFest.com )
October 5/6 – venue to be arranged in NYC in conjunction with The Directors Chair Film Festival, to be held on Staten Island, NY (TheDirectorsChairTV.com )
October 14 (Sunday) – Eagle Eye Books, Decatur, GA [TBC] (EagleEyeBooks.com )
October 19-21 – Screamfest, Orlando, FL (SpookyEmpire.com )
“I am hoping to arrange more signings in Chattanooga and Nashville, TN in either late October or early November, plus signings in Alabama and northern Florida, with other parts of the country to follow, but this will be dependent on what happens to the GIRL movie, which has now been invited to over 16 festivals around the world,” Nutman said from his home in Atlanta.
