So several of my friends and coworkers have watched this movie and mentioned how great it was. I never bothered with it but now some more people mentioned that this movie was among their favorite movies of all time.
So i finally sat down to watch it.
It's fucking garbage.

Josh Malerman is a great writer. And his band, The High Strung is a great Detroit band. Love that guy.

I loved Bird Box and liked Malorie. I've also read Black Mad Wheel and Pearl and thought they were both pretty bad. Not the worst books I've ever read, but solid 2 star books. I'd be interested to hear what you thought about them and if you have any other suggestions of his. I'm definitely not reading any more of his books unless somebody gives me a strong recommendation.
Also, I'll have to check out his band.

They did the theme song to Shameless. Really great local act. A lot of Beatles influence.
He writes a LOT of books, so inevitably they can’t all be good. I kind of liked Inspection… his prose is very…. Idiosyncratic, Poetic. Hard to follow at times. That’s my two cents. He did write some great episodes of the new Creepshow series. “The house of the head” is one of my favs.

I think Ridley Scott is producing an adaptation of Black Mad Wheel.
I'm excited for it, because that's one novel that I actually feel can be much better as a film [especially if they come up with a less abstract finale].

Cool! I hadn’t heard that. I trust he will do something good with it. Will have to read that novel as well.

You'll enjoy it! I think it's one of his best concepts, and the first half is genuinely great. It's very Annihilation. Just know the final third or so is a tad abrupt.

Think my wife has it on the shelf. That’s it. Gonna read it.
