"As readers of Deb Atwood’s blog Pen In Her Hand know, Atwood is passionate about ghost
fiction. Since 2011, Atwood has read, re-read, and written about ghost
literature. 31 Ghost Novels to Read Before You Die presents a selection of the
best of these posts.
Among the books discussed are old favorites (The Turn of the Screw by
Henry James, The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson) as well as some
indie gems few people will know about (The 20’s Girl, the Ghost, and All That
Jazz by June Kearns). There are ghost novels for every reader, in genres
ranging from historical to literary to romance. "

What
a fun idea this is! From the 31 Ghost Novels to Read Before You Die anthology
of reviews, I selected The Face by Dean Koontz to cast with my
dream team. Here are my choices:
Dad aka Channing Manheim. Channing Manheim is known as The
Face, the most dazzling of Hollywood actors. I had to go with Matt Bomer
from White Collar who truly has one of the most beautiful
faces I've seen.
Ethan Truman. Ethan Truman is the head of security
for Channing Manheim. I chose Josh Duhamel from Safe Haven because
he looks like an intelligent detective.
Fric Manheim. Fric is the precocious and lonely
child of Channing Manheim who just needs someone to love. He could be portrayed
by Jacob Tremblay from the movie Room.
Corky Laputa. I see Danny DeVito bringing a quirky
malevolence to this anarchist evildoer.
Brittina Dowd, the tutor. I see her as Sharon Gless
from Burn Notice. The tutor is a minor character, but I had to
include her because I'm a tutor and because her teaching philosophies are so
ridiculous.
Hazard Yancy, Los Angeles detective and
close friend of Ethan, would be played by Larenz Tate from Game of
Silence.
Ghost Duncan would be aptly portrayed by
Jeffrey Dean Morgan from the series Supernatural.
