In this collection, Stephen King collected novels and short stories that formed the basis of famous Hollywood films. The writer also added his comments, sharing his impressions of each film and reflecting on whether the directors managed to convey the spirit of his works or, perhaps, even surpass them. The surreal and cruel “Meat Grinder”, the original and frightening “Children of the Corn”, the mysterious and intellectual “Hearts in Atlantis", the fascinating and realistic "The Shawshank Redemption" and the classic horror film "1408". Five stories, five adaptations with the best actors - from Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins to Anthony Hopkins and John Cusack. Have you seen these films? Perhaps now is the time re-read the literary works on which they were based!..
