What Are You Reading Now? Pt 2.
Have you seen the adaptations?The 1978 version with Donald Sutherland scared the hell out of me when I was younger, such a creepy movie.

Yes, and I agree that the 1978 version was the best. That ending was just...genius!

I have read it and it was great. Also, I have the audio CDs of the book which makes feel like I'm rereading it again

On the look for a new read.
Hi Kandice, yes Honeysuckle was a lovely character. Really enjoyed a lot of Joe Hill's characters!Just finished reading Starve Acre by Andrew Michael Hurley. A bit like his debut The Lonely, creepy and well written with a mostly melancholy menace rather than full on horror.
Recommended for a short read.

If you're looking for another read The Man Who Fell to Earth by Walter Tevis is excellent. Nowhere near as slow-burn as the film.
Just finished Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I pre-ordered my copy of Later from Barnes and Noble. According to their little friendly email, it's not supposed to arrive until like the 14th or something. I'm really hoping that's incorrect and it arrives sooner.

I love Coraline so much. I love how the straight-forward almost adjective-less narrative style creates a sense that Coraline really is on her own. I agree with your parallel of Alice in Wonderland. I hadn't thought of that, but you're right.
I'm glad you enjoyed the book, too.

Looking for something else to read! :)
I'm reading Mr. Mercedes. I tried reading it before and couldn't get into it. But for some reason, the second time around, I can't put it down! lol
Forgot to mention that I finished reading The Fiends In The Furrows the other week. It's an anthology of short stories on the theme of Folk Horror, so if anyone is looking for something dark but quick to read I really recommend it. Just discovered a second book has come out will definitely be getting that one.
Just finished The Regulators by Stephen King/Richard Bachman.My thoughts on this one..

I'll make sure I let everyone know straight away in future! haha
Reading The Terror by Dan Simmons at the moment. I set myself the challenge of reading it before it airs on the BBC on 3rd of March. Then I realised it's over 900 pages long.... and I'm a slow reader. This is quite an epic challenge for me!!

I was happily surprised at how well that book held up the last time I read it. Becky is a bad ass!
