I just read the Eyes Of The Demon anthology and have been inspired
Imagine The Titans by Tim Lebbon, the first story of the anthology, but different.
Spoilers for that story below.
Jeremiah Beck is left crippled after his encounter with Luna (the hostile female predator). He can't afford the procedures that will cure him, so he has to use a cane, or maybe even a wheelchair.
50 years later, Luna finally tracks him down. She tears through Hamilton Base and when she finally finds the object of her revenge for the past 50 years...he's old. He's old and infirm. He can barely stand up. The image of the mighty human warrior who defeated her decades ago that she's built up in her mind comes crashing down as she stands over an old man in a wheelchair, who couldn't fight her even if he wanted to.
Obviously it wouldn't be an honorable kill. She can't claim any trophy from this hunt. Killing him would make her Bad Blood.
Just imagine all her vengeful fire dying as she looks at his withered form, looking up at her with no fear, just melancholy.
In the end she leaves without killing him, and the spot she'd kept open on her trophy wall for his skull remains empty for the rest of her life.

Happy anniversary of #DawnOfTheJedi Into the Void, released 10 years ago today! To many, this novel felt as if it was only the beginning of Lanoree's story as a Je'daii Ranger, and we wonder what else may have been if the Legends timeline had not been discontinued.

London Eye (Toxic City Series #1) By Tim Lebbon
Okay, so let's do this thing again.
I've read this one twice now. I read it when I was younger and again last summer. I have yet to read the second and third in the series, but I'll get there eventually.
It's a pretty quick read, but a lot happens. It starts with finding out that London was under a terrorist attack the year before, I think, like i said it's been a while. They usually refer to it as Dooms Day. Some kind of pathogen or something was release in London and according to the goverment totally killed off everyone there.
Well the 5 main characters, Lucy-Anne, Jenna, Sparky, Jack and Jack's little sister Emily have all lost someone in the attack or because of the attack. Jack and Emily have lost both parents, Sparky lost his brother, Lucy-Anne lost her whole family, and Jenna's dad who tried to help people in London got scared off by the government and has never been the same since. London is now locked off from everyone and everything by a branch of the military called Choppers. The friends have little cashes set up for others to anonymously share findings of proof that citizens of London are still alive.
One day someone from London shows up, Rosemary, she needs help. The others in London want out, the Irregulars, she also tells them that people in London now have special powers because of the attack. The Irregulars just want to go home. The way she proves it is a little excessive in my opinion, but desperate times I guess. She also knows Jack and Emily's parents. She's willing to take the teens to them.
Once in London they learn of the Superiors who don't want that to happen they want to embrace their new found powers and take over everything. Everything kinda goes down hill from there. You find out the mother is trying to keep people a live while the father is the head of the Superiors. Lucy-Anne can't handle it mentally anymore and runs off only to come across someone who says he will help her, but I don't think that's the case. Sparky figures out what happened to his brother and they find out the real reason Rosemary brought them to London.
Now that they are in London they are all changing and getting abilities too. Rosemary wants Jack to take on his father and free them.
I haven't read the rest so I have no idea if he managed, but you could read them and find out, or wait until I've gotten around to it.

Recently read The Silence by Tim Lebbon and it was great, found out there was a movie and watched it and now I'm subjecting the Internet void to
My Thoughts on The Silence (2019) (6.5/10):
-(TLDR: I enjoyed it, but if I hadn't read the book it'd be much less interesting
TLDR of the move: if youve seen a quiet place, very similar creature, blind and hunts via hearing, reminiscent of like, piranhas combined with bats. parents, young son, deaf daughter and moms mom are trying to survive)
- Casting is all good except for Huw they fucked up (actor did a good job, just don't think he has the right vibe and its not /just/ because he's bald)
- Jude and Ally are great, Otis is a Rottweiler and I can't remember if that's book accurate (definitely not how I pictured him, I pictured a mutt that vaguely resembles a dark grey Irish wolfhound, but not as ridiculously large). but he's so so cute (I hid during The Scene™ so I have no clue how they handled it, but maybe next time I can just think about the dog actor having a really fun time)
- Not a fan of the change of setting, I understand that the problem had to move faster than the book, but they could've still kept the UK and Moldova, I feel like this would be more important to me if I was British tho tbh, im sure theres aspects of the characters in the book that got messed up when they turned american that i didnt notice. Probably cheaper to film in the USA tho.
- Obviously lacks all of the incredible build up and suspense of the entire first quarter of the book, with Ally seeing the cave on TV and slowly watching it become a bigger and bigger thing, which is one of my favorite things about the book
- Note from ~25 minutes in- better than a quiet place because it starts from the beginning, although I've heard the quiet place 2 provides a lot more context, maybe it's a ouija situation
- FUCKING HATE THAT THEY CHANGED 'HE WANTS ALLY FOR HER SIGN LANGUAGE AND SEES HER AS A FUCKED UP SAVIOR' INTO 'THE GIRL IS FERTILE' THATS SO FUCKING STUPID WHY WOULD THEY VALUE FERTILITY AT ALL WHEN BABIES ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO HUSH AS A PRE ESTABLISHED FACT THATS JUST GROSS PERVERSION FOR THE SAKE OF SHOCK VALUE INSTEAD OF WHAT ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE FOR THE PLOT
- They also fucked up the order of events with the hushed attacking the house, which fucks up the relevance of the grandmas sacrifice, since they just grabbed Ally again right after
- They also didn't include the smile from grandma to Ally which would've been so so easy to include and imo was a good moment.
- I liked Jude stabbing the guy, can't remember if that was in the book. also didn't like that it was three kidnappers instead of one really big guy who ignored like, a knife wound and being punched repeatedly
- Overall very similar to how I feel about THG movie, although this movie is worse than THG generally, so the concept is amplified. fun to watch because I know the deeper parts, decent basic genre movie, but doesn't have nearly the substance, meaning, or craftsmanship as the book.
- Really wish the beginning had slightly more time to show the doubt the world had when the vesp infestation first started. I think like two or three weeks passed between the Moldova cave incident and the vesps crossing the British channel in the book. There also wasn't time to show all the ways people tried to fight back, the military burning cities while blasting off fireworks, releasing toxic gases, etc. But I think specifically the doubt that was surrounding the vesp infestation in its early stages is a very important part of what makes the book so effective, it shows how people will ignore the things they cant handle, the cognitive dissonance we all have about whats happening in far away countries, it could never happen to us etc
- Really wish Glenn got more screen time and character development, especially in relation to the doubt, but I understand why he didn't. He's the madge of this film (not as bad tho, they did their best with him and the time they had I think)
- Feel pretty much the same about the ending, I get they needed a satisfying conclusion since they knew the odds of a sequel were slim, and the original ending would've been to frustrating for a more general audience.
- Personally though, I would've written it closer to the original, but they make it to the house in Scotland, and there's vague hints about the refuge (and maybe a more solid conclusion on rob somehow) so its like, there's a little open endedness and if they really wanted to do a sequel they could, but its still satisfying and more follows the original storyline. Especially since they totally cut out the plot line of huw and his parents weird relationship and his weird feelings about Scotland.
- Still enjoyed it more than quiet place, though tbf I don't remember that movie very well, I was high as fuck during both movies, and I haven't seen the sequel
- Huws brother and sister, Allys best friend and the lake house woman's machete are all absent, along with the prime Minister announcements (although I guess itd be the president) which I really enjoyed since the governments response is a key component to how a society reacts to catastrophy, which I think is a solid bit of the point of the book
- Basically I want a five hour long extended version that's just a little more book accurate and has slightly better pacing and casting. Just like The Hunger Games, Percy Jackson, and every other book to movie adaptation I've ever seen
