When Will Hollywood Discover Richard Laymon?

I'm not gonna lie. I was never a big book reader, my yearly average was pretty much one a year, if that. I know, it's shameful. But, over the past couple of years something clicked and I've been on a book binge ever since.

I've read most of Stephen King's catalog, nearly all but finished Thomis Harris', delved into Dean Koontz, took a few reads from Clive Barker and James Herbert, and most recently I've been into Richard Laymon.

Now most of these authors have become household names, and I'm sure many of you discovered most through their film adaptations rather than their literature, and that's me all over.

Watched all the films but never though to read the source material until recently. But, one thing that has stood out is that I can't find a single adaptation of any of Laymon's books, not one. Why is that? Why won't anyone touch his work? I take a look within.
