I saw the movie but don't remember it very well. I'm assuming the book is much better. Correct?

A few weeks ago, my first MidWorld book was delivered - Ring Shout by P. Djeli Clark.
And by delivered, the Post Office said it was, but it really wasn't. Gave it a few days, filed a claim. Nothing. Contacted MidWorld to see if maybe I could get a replacement copy (maybe for a discount?) but they sent a new one for no charge.
When that one was delivered, it was actually delivered.
Looks like a nice production, just have to get around to reading it.

I have been really tempted to pick up EXPERIMENTAL FILM.

No. I'm not into fantasy anymore and hadn't read this book and/or series. I've only bought two books from them and one was nice and readable and the other had bright white paper. So my sample size is not large.

I don’t care for fantasy either, so skipped this one and all the other very popular, recent fantasy releases from various publishers. I’m actually glad that I don’t collect fantasy, because the prices and output these days are considerable.Twitter: https://twitter.com/ron_clinton

In terms of readability, I think they had issues with some of their first/earlier titles. I believe they squared that away as I haven't noticed anything with their more recent releases. In fact, I received and read Ring Shout a few months ago and the production values and readability were perfect!

I picked up their S/L HC of BLACKTOP WASTELAND, which I was really excited about, but while I managed to read the thing, it was not a pleasurable experience...the font chosen was horrendous, style over form, and was, in fact, so bad that I sold it as soon as I was done reading it, as I knew I'd never revisit it and was soured on the volume. Good to hear they've figured things out in that regard.
I'm currently reading Those Across the River, which predates their Blacktop Wasteland release, and the font is fine in that one.

It was the first thing I’d read by Buehlman, and I thought it was a great story, yet one that never seems to get mentioned in the discussions of recent horror books.
