I feel like when I go to read the book it will just be two different takes on a similar premise. I don't see what's so wrong about that.

I'm more lenient when it comes to book to movie transitions. I understand that they are two separate mediums and they don't have to follow each other to a T.

when Choke came out in the theater a friend and i went to go see it....he had not read the book and i had....he loved it

it's not so much that it was a bad movie....just in my opinion they really got every character wrong and in all honesty i just felt that that book would be hard to translate into a film

in my post before that one i was talking about John Dies At The End....and how i decided to read the book then watch the film and i really regret that.....the film was fun and good but they had to leave sooooo much out that it became a disappointment to me

I've got Invisible Monsters in my stack of unread books, and I'm sure one day I'll get around to it and I'm sure it will be amazing. Is Haunted worth reading BTW? I'd love to see if he can do horror.

i have not read all of Haunted...really it's more like a collection of short stories that...if i remember right....center around a group at a writers camp in a haunted house....the shorts i read were disgustingly hilarious though....i seem to rember a story about a kid who prolapses his colon while masturbating in a swimming pool
