Nice email from Rick Kleffel:

Neal,

I just did an event with Guillermo Del Toro last night; hosted a Q&A with him at the Kabuki Sundance Theater in San Francisco. I gave him a copy of The Skinner to read, which I think he will enjoy quite a bit. He loves monsters every bit as much as you and I do. Hope you saw my bit on The Technician:

You are really kicking ass. I’ll let you know what he thinks of the book when next I speak with him.

best,

Rick Kleffel

I’m thinking that Mr Del Toro might already know my name, since he’s involved in that Heavy Metal movie I provided a load of material for, but The Skinner? Wouldn’t that be great…
