Hello! Welcome to this month's Does It Adapt, featuring our frequent cohost, Rusty! This month we take a different approach to adaptations by looking into how an author has adapted one genre into his own style! Author Jonathan Maberry has taken to writing his takes on the world of H.P. Lovecraft and cosmic horror! With books like Kagen the Damned and Necrotek, this author has brought a new spin onto this genre. He even has followed in the steps of past Lovecraftian writers and published through Weird Tales Magazine as well as become editor for the publication! So will Jonathan show us the frightful and freakish fathoms of frequently feared underwater cities? Or will he give us a story that truly makes us go insane?

Hello and welcome to this month's Does It Adapt! This time, we are exploring a world of animated arcs and absolutely amazing action with anime! Shows like One Piece and Yu Yu Hakasho have came into then limelight. Many different animes have been adapted to the silver screen but not all have been as successful as their 2D counterparts. Considering these shows are based of the illustrated medium of Manga, one would hope that these stories would be given the best treatment once made into real life. However, that's not always the case. So will these live action versions of these cartoonish, crafted creations become credible? Or will these shows have their names written in the Death Note?

However, we are going to be going over the ups and downs of the attempts at live action remakes. Some have hit the spot and some have just completely missed the mark. Some haven't even been made yet but fans are clamoring for them to be released. So will Disney definitely deliver on the dramatic and delectable retelling of its stories or will they delve into despair and darkness desperately trying to drain our wallets?

Hello and welcome to Does It Adapt?! This month, we are tackling more adaptions of the beloved horror author, Stephen King! On this episode, we will be swimming into a sea of suspense, surrealism and slumber with The Shining and Doctor Sleep! Cherished by many, Stanley Kubrick's take on the classical novel has been seen as a masterpiece by many a viewer. However, according to the the book's own author, Kubrick meddled with the overarching story too much and lead to Mr. King's disdain of the film. Enter Mike Flanagan, who directed and helped bring to life the sequel novel to The Shining, Doctor Sleep. King has shown his admiration for entry and has praised its direction. We discuss our thoughts on both films, differences from the book to screen and address why we feel Mike Flanagan's approach to the sequel reinforced Kubrick's vision to make both films a force to be reckoned with. So will all work and no play make us a couple of dull boys or do we see a terrific and triumphant turn of two tumultuous titans come forth to make us scream in terror?

Will each show prove that casting is king, or do both falter and fail at following through with a fantastic experience?
