Well shit.

Deadline broke the bad news that HBO passed on ALL SIGNS OF DEATH, Alan Ball’s (TRUE BLOOD, SIX FEET UNDER) pilot that was based on Charlie Huston’s excellent THE MYSTIC ARTS OF ERASING ALL SIGNS OF DEATH.

The pilot was written by Huston and directed by Ball.

MYSTIC ARTS snagged Crimespree magazine’s book of the year award for 2010 and is also nominated for the MWA’s Edgar for best novel of the year.
