Hemlock Grove (Media Tie-In, Movie Tie-In)
Hemlock Grove (Media Tie-In, Movie Tie-In) | Brian McGreevy
An exhilarating reinvention of the gothic novel, inspired by the iconic characters of our greatest myths and nightmares. Now a hit television series on Netflix.The body of a young girl is found mangled and murdered in the woods of Hemlock Grove, Pennsylvania, in the shadow of the abandoned Godfrey Steel mill. A manhunt ensues though the authorities aren't sure if it's a man they should be looking for. Some suspect an escapee from the White Tower, a foreboding biotech facility owned by the Godfrey family their personal fortune and the local economy having moved on from Pittsburgh steel where, if rumors are true, biological experiments of the most unethical kind take place. Others turn to Peter Rumancek, a Gypsy trailer-trash kid who has told impressionable high school classmates that he's a werewolf. Or perhaps it's Roman, the son of the late JR Godfrey, who rules the adolescent social scene with the casual arrogance of a cold-blooded aristocrat, his superior status unquestioned despite his decidedly freakish sister, Shelley, whose monstrous medical conditions belie a sweet intelligence, and his otherworldly control freak of a mother, Olivia. At once a riveting mystery and a fascinating revelation of the grotesque and the darkness in us all, "Hemlock Grove" has the architecture and energy to become a classic in its own right and Brian McGreevy the talent and ambition to enthrall us for years to come."

Finished Season 1 & watched an episode of Season 2. I love the gothic small town meets folktales vibe. I would have been good with it ending at season 1. There was a natural end to the story arc & it‘s the kind of story that doesn‘t need all the answers tied up neatly. Binge watched 10 episodes. 101 points. #scarathlon #teammonstermash

First 4 episodes of Season 1. 40 points since based on a book. Debating whether I like enough to binge the remaining 29 episodes between now and 10-22 when it goes off Netflix. #teammonstermash #scarathlon

MidnightBookGirl Love this cover! I haven't watched the series, but maybe I'll start with the book? 3y
JudeCC @MidnightBookGirl Right? Love it!!
Me neither. I need to read it, and then watch the series. SO many books, such little time.

I saw the series first, then thought it would make a good book, and as I suspected there it was. 'Hemlock Grove' I wouldn't call this scary but it definitely has eerie ness to it, as well as a gothic feel, however it also has suspense and mystery, as the two main characters try to uncover this big supernatural mystery. I would reccomend for a book to read that's intriguing yet simple, but I do prefer the series.😂

Book sale success! Books on the right are mostly for my son with a few different ones thrown in for the nieces we are going to see next weekend at the hub‘s family reunion. Gears of War books are for my husband technically though I‘m sure I‘ll end up reading them as well! Sadly most of the books for me will stay behind while we are away all summer.

It was well written

I do like that there's an extended argument about who would win a fight between Wolverine and Batman. I feel like I would rather read about that argument, though.

Oh, now you're going to insult the French, are you book? Well, guess what, the French don't like you, either!

Rape is treated incredibly casually - who was raped by whom is included in a list of things to know when school starts.

"'Don't be retarded,' said Peter." Yay. Ableism. /sarcasm.

Roman is "...depressed suddenly and terrifically by the defeated life of this lying whore..." WTF? Rinse and repeat the WTF?

blurb
Grimlock


Roman puts a syringe into the ass of a woman he was stalking in the mall. The trampy smelling one so I'm assuming the message is she deserved to be violated for her perfume choices?

I'm going to continue reading this to keep calling the author out on his shitty behavior.

"...smelling her trampy perfume..."

Two percent and we're slut shaming women on scent. I'm not surprised after reading this author's non-fiction.

I liked it well enough. I wish I read it first before watching the show.

Watching Hemlock Grove on Netflix, has anyone read the book? Recommendable?

jpmcwisemorgan I have yet to read the book, thanks for the reminder that it's on my list. I enjoyed the show and I'm a bit sad we only get three seasons. 9y
KtheBookwyrm I started reading it and I remember thinking it was almost identical to how the first season started, dialogue and all. I didn't make it very far before I set it aside and moved on. That may not be a negative thing for you, I just enjoy having a little difference between the 2 to keep it interesting 9y
QueenAnne Thank you both for your reply! I really enjoy the show (season one currently), so I will consider reading it 😄 9y
QueenAnne @jpmcwisemorgan I'm currently watching season one, but already sad it only has three seasons! 9y
QueenAnne @The Bookwyrm Yes I know what you mean, some creative freedom and creating the picture you had in your head while reading, that keeps it interesting for reader and watcher 😉 9y

The pace of this book is faster than the tv show. Some events happened at different times also. Odd.
