You ever read the synopsis of a book and think, "that would be cooler as a different genre".

Yesteryear is a satirical book about a tradwife being transported into the 1800s. I'm not interested in that but I'd love a horror book version.

Not books but I'd like to see the basic premise of Who Framed Roger Rabbit as a horror movie.

The original book, "Who Censored Roger Rabbit?" is a cynical and somewhat gritty noir, for what that's worth.

I often wish Animorphs had a more mature adaptation that really leaned into the horror of the situation.

OOooo, that would be fun.

I don't know, Animorphs and its plucky kid protagonists really got the pretty extreme horror in, under the radar, so you'd read the book then five minutes later think, "Fuck, that's dark." The ending in particular.

Turning into an ant and losing your mind wasn't enough horror?

The ant one gave me such a phobia of ants for several years. Thankfully I'm over it now but that book really messed with my mind.

Did you ever read Remnants, by the same author? Also a YA scifi series so it's not written for adult audiences but very heavy, it scared me as a kid! The overall tone was also just more bleak and unpleasant in general than Animorphs for me, though I enjoyed reading both when I was young and found both to have very memorable horror scenes.

Topical, because I’m reading Yesteryear right now! I WAS interested in that but that’s not what the book ended up being.

I feel like I’ve read quite a few books lately that got too much into Saying Something first and having a good plot second.

I can't say it occurred to me when I looked at The Scarlet Letter in high school (actually ended up reading a different Hawthorne book because The Scarlet Letter did not sound at all like I would like it), but a little later, in the mid-90s, adaptations of The Crucible and The Scarlet Letter, made me wonder about The Scarlet Letter inside the setting of The Crucible. They aren't that far apart geographically or in time. I liked The Crucible as a book and I would be interested in The Scarlet Letter with that bent.
