New JAL novel: Summer 1985
From his instagram (and google translated). Next novel just finished here in Cefalu, Sicily. It was 340 pages, it's called "Summer 1985" and, yes, a mermaid is important to the plot. Coming spring/summer 2023 if God and Ordfront will. https://www.instagram.com/p/CkvkFwJDHka/?hl=en Sounds like a comi...

Re: John Ajvide Lindqvist tricked into selling the television rights for one kroner
The show itself isn't that bad. It has more to do with the original story than the trailers let on (I.E. the Oskar character is barely in the trailers but he's one of the leads and the relationship between the two kids is the heart of the show.) But yeah this really puts a sour taste in my mouth and...

John Ajvide Lindqvist tricked into selling the television rights for one kroner
https://sweden.postsen.com/live-style/43668/John-Ajvide-Lindqvist-sold-the-rights-to-Let-the-right-person-come-in-for-one-kroner.html I like the show but this is awful how they treated him. First duping him with the comic and now this. Hammer really is sleazy. Edit: More here in Swedish. https://www...

Re: My thoughts and some pics
Thanks! It was a fun experience for me. The pool scene in ours was actually portrayed pretty cheaply. It was simply done with the bullies putting Oskar on a bench and covering his mouth with a towel before spraying him with a hose. Or waterboarding. The actual pool attack was simply done by turning ...

My thoughts and some pics
I went to see the Boston play last night. I had a pretty good time. While the Swedish film will always be the definitive version I think I would rank this second in terms of adaptations. I felt the play did a good job of bringing in elements and lines that were only in the book and just some interes...

The Pallbearer’s Club by Paul Tremblay
I think LTROI fans might get a kick out of this… it’s about a loner who befriends a girl who he thinks is a vampire. It’s unclear if he’s right though; the book is written as a memoir and the girl has written notes in the margins disputing his claims and calling them bullshit. So there’s a bit of ba...

Re: Getting real LTROI vibes from Stranger Things
It’s a great show. Eleven does have some similarities to Eli like when she rescues her friend from a group of bullies.
