Really like the cover of Josh Malerman's Pearl that SST is doing. It's goofy but works for me. If I didn't already have CD's version of this book, I would grab this title for sure. No more dupe books!

My wife and I are watching it right now...tonight we'll start Episode 6 of what I understand are 8 total episodes. Generally speaking, it's okay...as Todd mentions, it's only loosely based on premise of STINGER, and while it started somewhat strong, each episode feels less eerie and compelling and following in well-tread tropes, ala parasitic alien invasion and the black oil in eyes that passes from person to person in the X-Files episode(s), which even my wife -- who is no horror fan -- mentioned was familiar. While I wouldn't dissuade anyone from watching it, I don't know that I'd advocate for it, either. We started it, and it's been interesting enough that we haven't switched away from it, and we plan to finish the final three episodes. However, if there is indeed a Season 2, which apparently hasn't been confirmed, I doubt we'll be back for more.

I'd like to check out Teacup at some point myself. Stephen King gave it pretty good reviews; so, I'm sure it's not too bad of a watch. Got to admit that I am less enthused to see it after hearing that they are basically just using the general premise of Stinger but are not actually following the plot/characters from the book. Either way, it's cool to see something of McCammon's getting film treatment. Hopefully it will lead to more of his IP being filmed.

I'm of the same mind. I have the Sub Press limiteds of almost all those early McCammon (save The Wolf''s Hour), which I'm happy with. I don't think I need another new edition unless, like Ron says, it has new material. Maybe if they offer a lettered I might be tempted to bite on one of those, but SST has only done one of the single Corbett title they published so that might be long shot. On a side note, I had absolutely no clue that Teacup was based on Stinger. I've seen some promotional images, but haven't watched a trailer or anything. Now I'm a little more motivated to check it out.

Originally posted by sholloman81 View PostSince I've seen the book posted to other vendor websites, I'm assuming that it is ok to now mention that the book is "I Was A Teenage Slasher" by Stephen Graham Jones. I know not everyone on the forum enjoys his stuff, but I am a big fan and very excited for this book. Glad I held off picking up a trade copy before this as I don't have the space for dupe books any longer.

I was thinking this, too. Could also be Bentley Little, but Stephen Graham Jones seems more likely because sholloman mentions not wanting an optional slipcase if offered and, if I remember correctly, he mentioned buying slipcases for his other Stephen Graham Jones books.

Nope, not Hendrix, Malerman, Lansdale, or Chizmar. One of the others.
