Horror Hotline July 30th, 2018 – Book Club: The Gone World by Thomas Sweterlitsch and Meg!
Tim did some reading over the weekend. He checks in with a couple of quick reviews.
The Gone World by Thomas Sweterlitsch. An excellent new sci-fi novel–with some strong horror elements–that gave Tim a headache.
And Meg. A 90’s monster shark novel that did not give Tim a headache.
Also, a wrap-up of the weekend box-office and some quick Mission Impossible: Fallout thoughts.
