Congrats to Authorized on 200 books! Wow!!

OUT NOW! Our 200th novelization! Look. We've read Yvonne Navarro novelizing a Species movie before. We know she kills it. We've had @davidlsims.bsky.social on before and we know he's a delight. Guaranteed slam dunk here. We're good at this! 200! Yes! Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45

This could be for something. ;-)

LUST FOR A VAMPIRE (2026 Reissue) Written by William Hughes

I'm a bit behind but I finally got the novelization of Godzilla Minus One. #GodzillaMinusOne #Godzilla #TakashiYamazaki #Kaiju #SevenSeasEntertainment

I have really strong memories of George Gipe's movie tie-in novelization, back in the days when I had my parents buy everything sci-fi related in the book rack at the local grocery store. I recall the novel being a lot more fleshed out with characterizations and the kid's experiments than the film.

Nearest book, page 42, second sentence. “From there, she was sure, her hard work and talent would carry her to the top.”

So many of my novelization articles end with "and it's really expensive to buy on eBay, sorry" but THE FOG is being reprinted very soon! Details included in this month's column! www.fangoria.com/celebrate-fo...

YESSSSSSSSSSS

When we talked about the movie Predator 2 earlier this week, the novelization by Simon Hawke came up a few times. To dig deeper into that, @paxholley.com has graciously allowed us to re-run the episode of @ireadmovies.com where he explored the book. www.afterlunchpodcast.net/2026/04/432-...

It’s Friday. Hope everyone has a great weekend. I’m gearing up for a new episode. Expect IRM to return in May.

I was on the @afterlunch.bsky.social podcast recently to talk about Predator 2. Check that out! Right after that they re-ran my episode on the Predator 2 novelization which was a lot of fun. www.afterlunchpodcast.net/2026/04/432-...

I have finally added this one to the collection. I had this as a kid, when it was much, much less expensive. Written by the great Dennis Etchison under a pseudonym. I’m still holding out hope for a remake based on Nigel Kneale’s original, comically anti-Irish screenplay

Who the hell is going to read this? If I saw someone with this on their bookshelf, I'd call the fucking cops.

🧵I can't say I've genuinely enjoyed any Chuck Norris movies, but when I saw the novelization of one of his most hilariously bad movies, Invasion USA, I had to pick it up. If you've never seen it, it's worth checking out for the laughs.

I love 1980's FADE TO BLACK, so I bought the novelization. If you haven't seen the film, please watch - Dennis Christopher is so amazing in it. Tell me your memories of this film/book! My podcast @horrormoviepodcast.bsky.social has an episode on it & an interview with Dennis Christopher too!
