The Reel Stuff review by JMBe
Profile Picture
JMBe

The Reel Stuff, edited by Brian Thomsen and Marin H. Greenberg, is a collection of intruiging stories turned into movies that date back to 1922. The purpose of the book is to help readers compare and decide whether they preferred the stories or the movies that derived from the stories. The genres range from science fiction to alien encounters and adventurous intergalactic stories; this book includes no teen dramas. Although some of the stories were a bit predictable, many of them were very well written.
