The stories that launched money-making blockbusters— “almost any of the stories is worth the price of the whole volume.”
The Reel Stuff collects thirteen memorable—and in some cases award-winning—tales from legendary names in science fiction, fantasy, and horror that inspired some of Hollywood’s greatest successes on the silver screen, or found rabid followings as cult classics.
Features the stories that inspired:
Minority Report • Total Recall • The Thing • Johnny Mnemonic • Re-animator • Candyman • Millennium • Enemy Mine • Mimic • Screamers • Nightflyers • Amanda and the Alien • The Outer Limits: Sandkings
“The stories in The Reel Stuff provide stark evidence that the written word is often superior to the movies it inspires...SF fans who’ve seen the ‘reel things’ but never read these stories should get this anthology immediately and read the ‘real things.’” —Science Fiction Weekly
“These stories are among the best of the genre... Enjoyable on many levels: for the stories themselves, for reviving the images of a number of memorable films...These stories are all worth reading…for the authors are a group of outstanding writers...This is a much more interesting collection than the usual ‘Best of...’ anthology.” —SF Site
