As much as we like books, sometimes we like to check out the movie world as well. And perhaps you thought that this had fallen to the wayside, this movie review thing. Well, not anymore, as how could Kate pass up the chance to talk about one of her favorite horror novels and the movie that took it on. Today Kate reviews “It” with a special guest host, her friend Laura. We talk about our history with the book and Stephen King in general, the propensity for strange tween girls to binge on his stories, and the differences between the movie, the miniseries, and the book that they both took their inspiration from (all while I positioned the camera awkwardly. My bad!). Stay tuned until the end to see our book recommendations if you liked the movie (titles also listed below).
Laura’s Recommendations:
“NOS4A2” by Joe Hill
“Hex” by Thomas Olde Heuvelt
Kate’s Recommendations:
“Something Wicked This Way Comes” by Ray Bradbury
“Summer of Night” by Dan Simmons
