During the English Civil War, the Royalist general Prince Rupert was in the habit of taking his large poodle dog named Boy into battle with him. Throughout the war the dog was greatly feared among the Parliamentarian forces and credited with supernatural powers. As noted by Morgan, [20] the dog was apparently considered a kind of familiar. At the end of the war the dog was shot, allegedly with a silver bullet. In September 2010, it was revealed that Sony Pictures Animation will adapt The Familiars into a 3D animated feature film, with Doug Sweetland set to direct it. [5] According to the books' authors, the film was scheduled to be released in 2014 but it got cancelled. [6] Fergal Reilly joined Sweetland to co-direct the film, [7] but in 2013, he left to co-direct The Angry Birds Movie.

The Familiars By Stacey Halls |The Works

For a time, poetry took precedence – she was among the top 10 finalists in Lagos’s Eko Poetry Slam in 2014 – but then she realised she wanted to focus on prose. In 2016, she was shortlisted for the Commonwealth short story prize for The Driver, which featured a relationship between a young woman from a wealthy Nigerian family and a chauffeur, and dealt with issues of class, wealth and exploitative love. Recent scholarship on familiars exhibits the depth and respectability absent from earlier demonological approaches. The study of familiars has grown from an academic topic in folkloric journals to a general topic in popular books and journals incorporating anthropology, history and other disciplines. James Sharpe, in The Encyclopedia of Witchcraft: the Western Tradition, states: "Folklorists began their investigations in the 19th Century [and] found that familiars figured prominently in ideas about witchcraft."

Danielewski has repeatedly expressed his desire to anchor his books in a relationship with a specific media. Where House Of Leaves was about a film and Only Revolutions was "about music," The Familiar "is about a television series". [3] The number of volumes announced for The Familiar would then correspond to a whole television series. In a 2011 interview he declared having mapped out the first 10 books as "two 5-volume seasons". [4] In that regard A Rainy Day in May has been described by critics as a "pilot episode". [5] Among his references, Danielewski quotes the experience of "the five seasons of The Wire or the wild speculations of Battlestar Galactica" which are built upon multiple storylines: "these visual novels have come into our living rooms and bedrooms and they tell a story in much greater detail and with much greater patience." To him, the choice to remediate, within a series of books, the way "prestige" TV shows have shaped narratives, is "a longform investment in the future."
