Really bizarre, I've read the book.
I had to read the English translation of Le belle bete, Mad Shadows, in English class and let me tell you - this is one messed up piece of literature. I've read some really out-there things in my life, but this was by far the strangest book I've ever read. It had a continuoulsy downbeat plot, and really strange things happen.
That being said.. I'm actually really excited for the film!
