Finished up the Halloween novelization and really enjoyed it.

Very nostalgic, and a well told story that stays true to the script while filling in a few holes along the way.

The book itself, from Printed in Blood, is a beautiful over-sized hardcover, though there are some editing issues throughout.

After Halloween, I read Nadelman’s God, the last story in Dark Gods, and the only one I had not previously read.

I liked NG quite a bit, and overall really liked the entire collection.

THE WALL by Marlen Haushofer, a 1968 Waldean, last-person-on-Earth (?) feminist novel that seems like a precursor to King's UNDER THE DOME. From the back: "While vacationing in a hunting lodge in the Austrian mountains, a middle-aged woman awakens one morning to find herself separated from the rest of the world by an invisible wall. With a cat, a dog, and a cow as her sole companions, she learns how to survive and cope with her loneliness. Allegorical yet deeply personal and absorbing, The Wall is at once a critique of modern civilization, a nuanced and loving portrait of a relationship between a woman and her animals, a thrilling survival story, a Cold War-era dystopian adventure, and a truly singular feminist classic." I've just started it, so can't attest to whether it's a good one or not, but I'm optimistic.

Wow, never heard of this book/author, but it sounds very cool. Keep us posted!
