First breakfast of the year with a Welsh theme and a novella that inspired a great movie.
Happy 2021 everyone and happy reading

John Carpenter‘s The Thing is one of my all time favorite horror movies. Upon learning it was based on a novella, I immediately tracked it down to read. Definitely heavier on the sci-if than the horror, but I still saw the inspiration nonetheless. #WinterGames2020 #TeamReadNosedReindeer +11 pts

Check out my new video where I review "Who Goes There?" by John W. Campbell Jr. (The book that inspired John Carpenter's The Thing.)

I had to revisit this one after receiving this amazing print in my #nocturnalreadersbox. It's by Eric Nyquist and I can't wait to hang it. The Thing is one of my absolute favorite movies and the original story is also super creepy, although this may be one of the few instances where I like the movie a little bit more.

Listened to this audiobook over the weekend as I was traveling to a book signing. Loved it. The 1980s Carpenter adaptation did this book justice. Still, there is enough of a difference between book and movie so that long time fans of the film will feel like they are experiencing this horror from a new perspective. Highly recommend, the feeling of claustrophobia and paranoia hits readers hard with this work.
