Hank Palace Fanart: Joseph Laney Illustrates The Last Policeman
[Ed. Note: A few weeks ago, we spotted Joseph Laney tweeting with Ben H. Winters about his Last Policeman fanart. We dropped him a line, and he's sent over a guest post. Enjoy!]
I discovered The Last Policeman in the best possible way… I was perusing a bookshelf in a little town while on a summer trip to Oregon. Somehow being transported to a wintery setting in doomed New Hampshire was all the more visceral because I was enjoying 90-degree days.
I was really drawn to the apocalyptical aspects of the story. Trying to imagine the impact on society when faced with imminent destruction is thrilling. A book that takes you on a journey through that gloomy landscape conjures an assortment of images.

Coming Attractions: Six YA Books that Would Make Great Movies

It’s official: Hollywood has turned to Young Adult books for movie magic inspiration. The large fanbase for these books provides an opportunity to bring new stars in the limelight, make big bucks, and show off new special effects. After the explosion and mania of Harry Potter and Twilight took hold, followed by The Hunger Games, Beautiful Creatures, Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, Divergent, The Maze Runner, The Book Thief, and The Fault in Our Stars.
As a fan of several of these books, I’m equally thrilled and anxious to see the result when I walk into the theater. More often than not, the fans of the books enjoy the film adaptation, but movie reviewers don’t—always—and poor reviews can stop or stall future productions (Looking at you, Mortal Instruments.)
