The Book I can't forget
This is the book I can't let go of. There are several books that give me withdrawal, but this one. Oh my! I read it 15 months ago and I can't get over it. I check out my books from the library, but I keep thinking daily that I should buy a copy and re-read it. The fun part is that when I read this book I had no idea who Joe Hill was. Simply not a clue. When I finished reading it I started researching to see what else he had written. I was pleasantly surprised to find he is Stephen King's son! I read so many King books when I was younger! Pick this up and read it. Don't be intimidated by it's size, you won't regret it. I realize I haven't said anything about the actual plot. That's because you deserve to enjoy every minute of it on your own.

When Becky and her brother Cal hear a cry for help coming from a field of tall grass they go in to help. It soon becomes apparent that things are not what they seem in the tall grass.
In The Tall Grass is a Netflix film based on a novella written by Stephen King & Joe Hill. The film is a horror/suspense/thriller with a main cast only six people and only seven actors credited. The six main characters all become trapped in the grass and, like any good thriller it soon becomes apparent that at least one of them cannot be trusted as they get picked off one by one. However, Stephen King had a hand it writing this so you know it’s not going to be a normal film, there are no monsters in this, no killer Clowns and, surprisingly, no scarecrows although I guess that would have been too obvious for anything written by Mr King. There is a dog. The strangeness comes from the way the film plays with time, it soon becomes apparent that something is playing with time and space which leads to some interesting time loops.
In the Tall Grass is an interesting film which does a lot with a very small cast and a field and isn’t a mega long film like some of the other King films. If you can get your head around time loops, then I think it’s well worth a watch.
