I don't know if that was a novel of his or not but I'm guessing that, due to his writing style, maybe his books don't translate to the screen well.

I haven't read a lot of his work so I'm reserving my judgement for now ... but he does go off on a tangent at times for seemingly no reason. The dialogue is pretty fresh, though, and he does seem to have a fairly decent knowledge of the occult. Of course, with my limited knowledge of the occult maybe that's not saying much. :/

Protoclown I've read "The Great and Secret Show" and "Neverwhere" which were both pretty good. MUCH better than that festering piece of shit movie "Lord of Illusions". Still, I felt that the writing was a bit haphazard and the storytelling a bit sloppy in those books.

kellychaos I apologize to all who read this read. The writer I was thinking of for the novel is Clive Barker. I guess I had the whole horror movie director thing in my head and transposed the names. I don't even know if Wes Craven writes novels. Again, sorry if I wasted anyone's time.

kellychaos Exactly. That's why I thought his books would be cliche too but then I saw a few in the bargain bin at Border's. I sat down and started skimming a few pages and decided it actually wasn't bad. I guess his work just doesn't translate to film too well.

Skulhedface I would HOPE they are better than his movies. Nightmare on Elm Street owned....then he gives us the cinematic suppository called Scream 3. Egh.

Wes Craven

His novels are SO much better than his movies. I kind of avoided his books for a while thinking that his writing would be kind of trite. Finally, I relented and started reading "Cold Heart Canyon". It has everything sex, gore, Hollywood gossip, freakish actors, monks, Satan, evilly painted wall tiles (you'll have to read it) and did I say sex. I'm looking forward to reading another of his.
