In the Tall Grass | 
pickWhew boy, this is a creepy story!! It started out with a very classic Stephen King feeling and then it got more and more bonkers as it neared the end. This one is wild, friends. There are some scenes that could have been deleted 💤 and some very detailed and nasty scenes 🤢 but overall it‘s a fun little tale by the master and his son.
pickThis was a reread, but it was still good. I've seen the Netflix show, and it was filmed well, but the creepiness of this story was difficult to fully capture on the screen. I love the descent into madness that the characters go through.

Thought we'd give this a go as have seen a few posts saying it's meant to be good and it is Stephen King and Joe Hill. #TeamSlaughter #Scareathlon @Clwojick
pickIn the Tall Grass by Stephen King and Joe Hill is a bizarre and horrifying tale of two siblings that walk into a field after hearing a young boy call for help. Once they have stepped into the grass, they very quickly realize that they should have heeded the warnings and small red flags that they had brushed aside just moments ago…

The Hub and I are diving in! The story was creepy as hell, so looking forward to this! #TeamSlaughter #scarathalon @Clwojick
Watched this a couple nights ago and forgot to post. We thought it was really good and creepy.

Yesterday my friend and I saw the movie and it was strange and sometimes. A few scary moments and most of the movie was boring. The #scarathlon

so-so(3.5)
Words of warning: don't read this while you are attempting to eat, especially if you have a week stomach.
I can see why this story may not be for everybody but for me it classic King. It is creepy, suspenseful, and extremely detailed. It gives you the heebie jeebies, but in a good way.
Since all of my library holds have seemed to come in at once I don't think I will actually get to the original Stephen King book I picked for my TBR this month (the Shining). You can't have October without a spooky read though so I decided it was time to check out this novella, plus then I can finally watch the movie.
pickOne word sums this short story up perfectly: Ew! 😱😭
I‘m giving it a pick because it definitely succeeds in being very disturbing/terrifying. But it definitely won‘t be some people‘s cup of tea.
Intrigued to learn it‘s a movie on Netflix! Don‘t watch it alone! 😱 3.5⭐️

Started streaming this last night 📺
I usually read books first before the movie/tv show but the trailer really got me hooked. Stacking this Stephen King + Joe Hill collab 📚
Tonight‘s movie is “In the Tall Grass”. Pretty good and suspenseful! #scarymovie 2 points for #TeamStoker #scarathlon

pickThis novella was pretty good for such a short story. It didn‘t blow me away, but it was creepy. I‘m curious to see how the Netflix adaptation holds up!

Lazy Sunday breakfast and a movie, in bed.

so-soI have to say that this is one of the few times that the movie is better than the book. I watched the movie last night and found it more interesting. The story has some good points but nothing great. So I read the book and watch the movie. How many points?

Watching In the Tall Grass. Already right out of the gate, the differences are glaring. But I suppose you don't really have a choice when the story is only 60-something pages and it's creepy because of its simplicity and its vast nothing but grassiness, you gotta flesh it out.

Anyone else watch In The Tall Grass on Netflix this weekend? Pretty creepy... 😱😬🌾⚰️
So weird, but I like it ! @TheReadingMermaid

I haven‘t read the Stephen King & Joe Hill novella so I don‘t know how good an adaptation this is but I really enjoyed this film. A good old fashioned horror film! 👍 #scarathlon #teamstoker
#TeamSlaughter Hello all!!! A bit late but finally starting my October reads. And I can't find a better beginning than the masters of horror... I will read this #novella now because the movie adaptation is coming this month to #netflix spooky nights everyone!
#scarathon
pickThis was my first audiobook I've ever listened to! I thought the narrator was great with his different voices for each character. The story was good and creepy (just what I expected with Mr. King and Mr. Hill). Basically a brother and sister are on their way to a new home and driving through Kansas and hear a boy's pleas for help in the tall grass. This isn't your typical grass and it gets really weird and creepy. 4 stars
Just in time for the #scarathlon I intend to win a point for #teamslaughter by watching this when it comes out next month! Although I see HUGE glaring differences between the novella and the trailer, I'm still excited to see it. The book was excellent, I'll probably hate the movie. Ha!
Anyone else read this and/or plan to watch the movie?
@Clwojick @TheReadingMermaid
New film coming to Netflix based on a SK and JH novella - looks interesting! Not read this story.

so-soCreepy story by King and his son, Joe Hill. The premise was great. Two people traveling cross-country hear a kid yelling for help. They venture into the tall grass to help him and then the scare factor increases as they find themselves separated and lost. Things go extremely dark at the end and a little off the rails, which is why this is a so-so pick for me. Apparently, it is currently being made into a movie too.

Word of advice...if you plan on reading a quick novella before bedtime, maybe don't pick this up! That's me never sleeping again
pickI was recommended this by a friend. He said he couldn't get into it but I was looking for something....dark, non-fairytale, and grim. Sometimes the "Happily ever after" endings just get a bit mundane.
It is a novella, and indeed a quick read, but BOY WHAT A READ. It satisfied my dark, haunting hankering and this is a cautionary "Read at your own risk" book.
Did y‘all see this? It could be interesting! I‘ll definitely be on the lookout for it. https://www.engadget.com/amp/2018/05/09/netflix-stephen-king-joe-hill-in-the-tal...

I is For In the Tall Grass, a novella co-written with King‘s son. I love that he collaborates with his kids! I‘ve yet to read this one; is it good?
Well, this just was creepy as hell
I'm in a reading slump. When that happens I turn to my old faithful, King. It's like putting on a pair of my favorite jeans. Like going home, kinda~sorta. Probably not the best choice right before bed. 🤣

I've read all of King's novels. But I've found that audio is a good option for his novellas/short stories. In the Tall Grass, along with the others shown here, are tales just as chilling whether they're on the page or in your ears😱
so-soThe story was interesting but it didn't grab my attention compared to Stephen King's and Joe Hill's other works.
I had heard this about Joe Hill, apparently he wanted to try to make it on his own and he did, long before it was revealed that he was King's son. I've read most of his books and he's a tremendous writer. Two of my favorites are this one and Throttle, both novellas he wrote with his father.
pickWhat started out sounding like a re-tread of Children of the Corn grew into its own terrifying tale of people getting lost in the great wide open of the heartland.
Just one thought kept irking me: why not try ripping the grass out??? Just try it, & tell me what happens.
so-soI love these two authors and I really wanted to love this one, but ...
so-soStephen King & Joe Hill ... How cool! The story was okay. A great concept, but the details were a bit muddied and unclear. Overall I liked it, but I would be hesitant to whom I recommend this to. 3/5.
