Every Baby Boomer Monster Kid has seen each of his movie favorites a dozen times, perhaps several dozen times-but how many of the source novels has he read? Top classics such as Dracula and Frankenstein yes, perhaps, but what about the novels that inspired less illustrious thrillers such as The Old Dark House and The Lodger? The minor movies The Maze and Dr. Renault’s Secret? Schlock like The Navy vs. the Night Monsters and The Deadly Bees?From Page to Silver Scream reduces each one of 21 novels to the length of a single chapter, in hopes of inspiring readers to obtain copies of these works and 'book' (pun intended) a cover-to-cover tour. The ways in which many of the movies deviate from the novels will surprise you.In addition to the half-dozen titles cited above, this book also features recaps of the stories that inspired:Murder by the ClockThe Mask of Fu ManchuThe GhoulThe Hound of the BaskervillesThe Dark Eyes of LondonThe Devil CommandsThe UninvitedWeird Woman (and Burn, Witch, Burn)DragonwyckDonovan’s BrainThis Island EarthBack from the DeadThe Incredible Shrinking ManThe 27th DayThe Day of the Triffids
