WINNER 2016 SCRIBE AWARD - BEST ADAPTED NOVEL!New Adaptation of the Cult Horror-Comedy Classic!I've enjoyed reading this really fun version of my "family movie," and I know you will too." - Jackey Neyman Jones (Debbie from Manos)"The worst movie ever made." - Entertainment WeeklyMike, Margaret, their young daughter Debbie, and toy poodle Pepe drive into the West Texas countryside looking forward to a relaxing family vacation. Instead, they discover an evil cult of undead polygamists led by The Master and his half-human servant, Torgo. Can the family make it out of the desert alive with both the cultists and the Hands of Fate against them?Based on the "so-bad-it's-good" cult horror classic, Manos: The Hands of Fate is the first of two Manos novelizations by award-winning author Stephen D. Sullivan. In this laugh-a-minute adaptation, Sullivan has captured all the zaniness of the "classic" low-budget feature - including every word of the original dialogue. Fans of MST3K, RiffTrax, or bad movies in general are in for a real treat!(Sullivan swears that the second Manos book -- due for fall-winter 2015 release -- will be a "serious horror" novel.)
