“Florida Roadkill” TV Series based on Tim Dorsey’s Novels in the Works

Former newspaperman and Tampa author Tim Dorsey is out with his 19th book about Florida serial killer and anti-hero Serge Storms. After growing up just north of Miami, working as a journalist, then as the Tampa Tribune’s night metro editor and now going on book tours around the state for the past 18 years, Dorsey has plenty of stories to tell. Real ones. Real crazy ones.

And his anti-hero, encyclopedic Floridaphile, lovable serial killer Serge Storms will soon come to life on your TV screen. Sonar Entertainment has optioned the rights to Dorsey’s novels. The TV series will be called “Florida Roadkill” after the first one.
