![](https://bookshopapocalypse.com/cdn/shop/products/believers-1sq_1080x.jpg?v=1636737211) This is about 800x better than the movie. Dang. I don't recall much, but I don't remember the movie being all that bad. The movie isn't fit to tie the shoes of the book. Huge difference.

I liked the movie when I saw it in the theater. Think I'll give the book a look.
And I can't believe this, but I haven't ever even heard of that Silverstein book. And I was a big fan of his other work.

And I was a big fan of his other work. Definitely grab a copy if you can find one. I "think" it might be available digitally on the Internet Archives, too. It's my favorite of all Silverstein's wonderful books.

Tore through a wintry collection of ghost stories called The Haunting Season and am now into a collection of fifty super-short horror stories called Small Horrors by an author named Darcy Coates. I'm not up on current horror authors at all, but next to Stephen King, she was one of the few authors with a decent showing of books at Books-a-Million when I visited a week ago. Only read a handful of the Small Horrors, but they've been tight thus far.

Oh man. Let me know how Silent Earth is. It makes me sad how we went from "The Hellstrom Chronicle" (1971) to this in my lifetime.
