Title: muckhole gets a book
Post by: Eric P on December 04, 2008, 02:24:27 PM: i couldn't be bothered to find the old topic

i was browsing broadway borders and found this tucked into the horror section

as it's out of print and going for distinguished mentally-challenged fellow prices, i thought i'd buy it and offer it here. $20 shipped. ($17 list price).

will send out Saturday morning (Cor and Ghengis will have stuff mailed that day as well

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on December 04, 2008, 02:57:45 PM: haha, hilarious timing, jojo just messaged me and is like 10 minutes away from finishing my copy and giving it back to me.

great fucking fun read. legitimately funny AND legitimately scary. somewhat disjointed in the middle and ends up being less scary and more funny, but that's better than most horror novels that just end up less scary and more stupid (c.f. King)

also Evil Dead and Bubba Ho-tep are not really funny, just putting that out there. though probably the Bubba Ho-tep director having the movie rights will end up being okay. I just know he's going to focus on gory horror over the weird psychological horror that the book excels at, especially in the first 2/3.

read it free online to see if it seems like your thing: http://www.johndiesattheend.com/

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on December 04, 2008, 03:00:11 PM: doh, looks like it was removed:

http://www.johndiesattheend.com/updates/?page_id=10

because it was bought by a megapublisher and will be reissued in 2009

well, it rules and you should take advantage of Eric P's magnaminity

Post by: Eric P on December 04, 2008, 03:18:38 PM: i never thought of bubba ho tep as a comedy and am confused by people who do.

but i think he could do a good job of this.

maybe.

patel, you should read mike carey's The Devil You Know if you haven't already

Post by: disgruntled_jojo on December 04, 2008, 03:22:23 PM: I did quite like this book and will pick up a copy. I can wait for the reissue. And hopefully a less distinguished mentally-challenged cover.
