You know them from their work in film and television, but you may not b be familiar with the great books they have written. Here is a short thread of some of my favorite books by some very talented screenwriters.

Alex Garland (28 Days Later, Ex Machina) – The Beach
After discovering a seemingly Edenic paradise on an island in a Thai national park, Richard soon finds that since civilized behavior tends to dissolve without external restraints, the utopia is hard to maintain. pic.twitter.com/ioaP4lwaka— Joseph Mallozzi 🏴☠️ (@BaronDestructo) April 15, 2023
Johanna Sinisalo (Iron Sky) – The Core of the Sun
A religious cult is in possession of the Core of the Sun, a chili so hot it is rumored to cause hallucinations. Will Vanna succeed in her quest to find her sister, or will her growing chili addiction destroy her? pic.twitter.com/ll9mWG2Jsl— Joseph Mallozzi 🏴☠️ (@BaronDestructo) April 15, 2023
Jed Mercurio, aka @jed_mercurio (Line of Duty, Bodyguard) – Ascent
Yefgenil Yeremin is a flyer and he is a phantom, the legendary ace dubbed “Ivan the Terrible.” But the USSR’s involvement in Korea must be kept secret, so his name remains unknown, his victories uncelebrated. pic.twitter.com/JLJvnXtRa3— Joseph Mallozzi 🏴☠️ (@BaronDestructo) April 15, 2023
