That is one of my favorite King novels, have read it several times.

Another good King book. Great followup to The Shining.

King's son Joe Hill references the villains from Dr Sleep in his own book NOS4A2.

He's excellent. Besides that one, Horns is great (the movie was decent but they changed a lot), Heart Shaped Box is really good, and his newest book The Fireman is his opus, very entertaining read and you don't realize it's as long as it is. I still haven't read his collection of short stories.

I've got a list going of the films I haven't seen. It can get repetive as far as information repeated during movie descriptions, but understandable.

But yeah, even after scouring IMDB I still managed to miss movies listed here, and some of the movies described were unreleased, darn. Also interesting how many filmmakers did illegal things to fund their films.

I should've mentioned I got mine for the Kindle, it was only about $11. Normally I don't like paying that much for a digital book, but I really wanted to read it. And I think it was well worth the splurge.

Though like I said it's fun, I think it's safe to say Herbert is the better British horror author of the two.

Just recently re read that one.

Yeah, quite a few differences througout. But yes, Buddy's was much more drawn out, and not over quickly like the movie. Christine almost seemed to toy with her victims in the book.

You have something to look forward to when you finally do find the time.

WOW! Want that book! Thanks for the heads up, foz!!

Read and enjoyed the Regional Horror Film book, now going togo through it again, and make a list.

It was a fun quick read. That was my first of Guy's books I've read. I have his crab books. Also The Camp, The Lurkers, his Sabat books, The Slime Beast. Picked up a bunch of horror paperbacks the last time I visited Powell Books in Portland.

I love getting lost in that place.

I forgot I made this thread. D'oh!

I've since read:


Star Wars: Honor Among Thieves - James SA Corey. Over the last several months I've been reading SW books in chronological order, I started with the Han Solo trilogy from the 90's (that's as far back as I wanted to go), the trilogy is set before the first SW movie. Honor Among Thieves is set right before Empire Strikes Back. I liked it, the author really captured Han Solo's personality.
One SW book I really enjoyed a lot more than I thought I would was Death Troopers, yep a zombie SW book. Horror can work in the SW universe.

And read Brian Keene's Dark Hollow, enjoyed this one as well. Horror, mythology. Satyr hypnotizing women in a small town to come feat on his large...er flute.

The moving trees made me think of the Old Forest in Lord Of The Rings, so now I'm currently re reading that.

Yeah, I think that's mainly why I skipped going that far back, all of the stuff between the Trade Federation and Galactic Senate I find dull.
I'll have to check out Kenobi.

Pillowface - Kristopher Laymon.

Definitely a Richard Laymon inspired book. I haven't seen the movie yet, but the author wrote and directed Psycho Holocaust, the three baddies in the book are the three baddies in the movie. The movie isn't an adaptation but works like a prequel to the book, or the other way around, I forget.

Love the book. But yeah, there will never be a scene like that shown outside the book.
I'm looking forward to the movie. The miniseries was too watered down, too much changed, Tim Curry I've never found scary in the role, too hammy. And that awful stop motion spider thingy.

That's cool. I've only read like 3 or 4 of them. I should get a hold of them all and read them through.

Depraved 2 by Bryan Smith. Enjoyed the first one, this one is also a fun read. They read like Laymon. Small towns run by backwoods cannibals, yes please.

A lot of horror set in Massachusetts? I guess it'll cover Lovecraft as most of his stuff is set there. Would like to read that. Thanks for the heads up!
