Currently attempting to slog through the Mothman Prophecies. In my opinion it's one of those unique circumstances where the movie is legitimately better than the book. What I enjoyed about the movie is that it feels like this understated homage to the Silent Hill series and it is a strange amalgamation of campy thriller and art-house.

The book ultimately ends up as an UFO/supernatural tabloid-esque read. I'm normally a fast reader and it's taking me ages to finish the book because there's only so much I can handle lol

There's a really decent documentary on Tubi TV called "Eyes of the Mothman" that's free to watch. It's light years more informative about the Mothman crypto-zoology mythos than the book ever claims to be, in my opinion. There's aspects of the book that I do like, but it's very dated and in my opinion, reads like a B-movie synopsis for 200+ pages.
