...with a side of fava beans, please


Book title: Hearts in Atlantis
Author: Stephen King
Film director: Scott Hicks
Crosspatch Artist: Bracatus
Bookdrop location: TBD
Bookdrop date: TBD
Note: "Sometimes when you're young, you have moments of such happiness, you think you're living on someplace magical, like Atlantis must have been. Then we grow up and our hearts break into two. Yes, hearts can break. Sometimes I think it would be better if we died when they did, but we don’t. Of course, I suppose, technically, when I break someone’s heart I do it literally. And I eat it afterward. In those cases, the person does indeed die from the process and everything works out for the best." — Ted “The Cannibal" Brautigan

Hannibal the Great and Powerful


Book title: Red Dragon
Author: Thomas Harris
Film director: Brett Ratner
Crosspatch Artist: Bracatus
Bookdrop location: Joel's Coffee Shop, Austin, Tx
Bookdrop date: 5/18/2015
Note: The link for the non-horrible cover shows the cover of the first edition, and it is one of the few covers of this book that does not contain some version of the phrase "by the author of The Silence of the Lambs" or (and in this case, and) the borderline-nonsensical "Meet Hannibal Lecter for the first time." Making Anthony Hopkins look like the Wizard proved more difficult than we anticipated, but we get a strange and disturbing pleasure from seeing Edward Norton in a Dorothy dress.

The Aliens of the Day


Book title: The Remains of the Day
Author: Kazuo Ishiguro
Film director: James Ivory
Crosspatch Artist: Bracatus
Bookdrop location: Baked 'n Sconed, Hutto, TX
Bookdrop date: 4/3/2015
Reference: Original | Non-horrible cover (and here)
Note: This is a fine book for those who appreciate the kind of subdued, introspective drama that certainly inspired the creators of Downton Abbey. However, we believe the film would have benefited greatly from the appearance of a xenomorph.
