That's a good one! Have you read any other Joe Hill books?

I've read The Fireman and NOS4A2! I really enjoyed both of them!


Horns is one of my very favorite books, but the movie did not do it justice. Not Radcliffe's fault, it's just a concept that is going to look cheezy on screen when compared to what a reader can internally visualize.

Agreed. The movie was the reason why I waited a long time before reading the book. If anything, I should have done the opposite.

Those are both good too!

I watched Horns over the weekend. I really enjoyed it! 9/10.
I will wait a while to read it, but I definitely want to. I like to watch 1st because most often I find watching after reading disappointing. This way I enjoy the 2 experiences the most. But, I know most readers prefer to read 1st.

I've been in a page and screen book club for 13 years. We only do books with a screen adaptation. We read and watch then get together to discuss and compare. We try to make sure some of us watch first and some of us read first. It's amazing how much the order changes the feelings.

I am very interested in this club!
I forgot to mention I read Joe Hill's short story collection Full Throttle!

I love it. I am pushed to read/watch things I otherwise might not, and so are the others in the group. It's interesting the number of screen adaptations we have felt were better than the source. Not often, but more often than you might think!



Oh okay, so it's that kind of vibe. I listened to the podcast for awhile but sort of got tired of it.


Pacing myself through The Binding as a character in it makes my skin crawl…😮
