This story is like no other. Conscience of a Dead Killer

Post by Gary Delfino »

My name is Gary Delfino.

Most murder mystery's pursue an evil person throughout the entire story and then predictably the killer is captured at the end.

Conscience of a Dead Killer is different... The killer is arrested, sentenced to death and killed in the electric chair in the first chapter.... Then, rather than good people chasing a bad guy, the bad guy is chasing himself. His ghost is forced to go back in time and witness his acts with a conscience. He actually falls in love with his first victim; this where the story begins: the killer's ghost finds a retired FBI agent who can see and hear him where no one else can. Together, they work to stop the living killer. This story hosts, action, adventure, romance, and an unpredictable happy/sad ending.

Please read it and let me know what you think. I've converted the story into a movie format and it is presently being reviewed by Sony and Paramount.

Thank you,
Gary Delfinno

Wow. This is exciting and yes, this will be a hit because of the new twist. I look forward to seeing this in a movie soon.

Does anyone think this seems suspicious? He spelled his name two different ways, uses poor punctuation in describing the content of his book:
This story hosts, action, adventure, romance, etc...
Most murder mystery's pursue an evil person throughout the entire story...
and, instead of saying he has written a screenplay, he says:
I've converted the story into a movie format...
Doesn't this seem a bit strange coming from someone who claims to be a writer?

You are correct, it is very suspicious. You might want to put some Aluminum foil around your head and on your windows. We certainly do not want anything to happen to you. PROTECT THE GREAT MIND OF AMERICA. Maybe you should apply at the FBI, there always looking for good Code crackers like you.

Suspious. Wow. Well by golly! I can be unnecessarily critical as well!

The story is a nice twist on a horror theme we've see before, but the twist is good enough that this could be fresh.

As for the mistakes and all...I know writers who mangle the English language. I pity their editors.

Besides, all he claims is that the movie format he's written is being "reviewed" somewhere. No big claim. Nothing to tear him down for or even worth bothering to lie about.

What I don't understand is where and how we're supposed to "check out" his story.
