Books I Want Adapted By Mike Flanagan

*Note: I haven’t seen all of his work and I’m more of a mystery/crime fiction reader than horror*

Something Wicked This Way Comes: 

I think this is probably the most expected considering it is THE Halloween story that people suggest. It is about two friends' experiences with a dark traveling carnival that preys on people’s desires right before Halloween. Ray Bradbury has written plenty of horror short stories as well that would supplement this as Flanagan sometimes incorporates those into his adaptations. 

Death of the Living Dead:

Translated from Japanese, beware the English print is very tiny. This is a story of a funeral director family living in New England in the 80s. The Barleycorns are a troubled family but what could be more troubling for funeral directors than an epidemic of the dead coming back to life?  Murder, but why murder when the dead come back to life? It is a murder mystery that plays with the classical conventions of a mystery novel. 

The Woman in White:

A ‘sensation novel’ written 1859. After a mysterious encounter with a woman in white Hartright, an art teacher, and his students find themselves absorbed in a tale of intrigue, suspense, crime, and more. The story is told from multiple perspectives which was inspired by how a crime is described by multiple witnesses in court. I think a lot of Collins’ novels could be adapted or they could be used for inspiration like I said with Bradbury. 

Another:

Another (ha) book translated from Japanese. It has an anime and film adaptation as well but I haven’t watched either. Koichi transfers to a new middle school but after realizing everyone is on edge and ignoring a girl who looks like a doll he figures out he is in a cursed class and a chain of horrific deaths follow. He tries to get to the bottom of it all and stop the gruesome deaths. There are three novels in this series but I only have the first one, I want the other two. 

Wylding Hall:

Members of an “acid-folk band” meet up at an old mansion in the country to record their music. They make their album but their lead singer goes missing in the building and is never seen again. Years later, the band reconnects with a young documentarian to tell their stories of what happened that summer.

And Then There Were None:

It doesn’t necessarily have to be And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie but any of the numerous mystery novels inspired by it. An island or secluded area where a group of people are staying with no contact to the outside ( A closed circle/community mystery ) and the people are dying off one by one as they try to figure out who the culprit is.

*I kept the descriptions short intentionally for convenience, so if you want to know more look them up, comment, or message me. I’m not going to promise to answer but I will try. If there are a lot of questions about one title I’ll probably just do a big singular review post of that title.*

Of coarse I deal with emotions in a healthy manner !*tucks book closer to chest*

Soul Mates

I don’t know how you are so familiar to me—or why it feels less like I am getting to know you and more as though I am remembering who you are. How every smile, every whisper brings me closer to the impossible conclusion that I have known you before, I have loved you before—in another time, a different place, some other existence.
