About this listen
Better late than never - THE OFFICIAL NOVELIZATION TO THE CULT CLASSIC TREMORS!
In the desolate Nevada desert lies the tiny town of Perfection—population: 14. Life moves slowly in this forgotten speck on the map, until handyman duo Val McKee and Earl Bassett decide they’ve had enough of the dead-end town and hit the road. But before they can escape, they discover a grisly series of deaths—and something strange lurking underground.
As mysterious tremors shake the earth and people start disappearing, Val and Earl uncover the terrifying truth: giant, carnivorous worm-like creatures are tunneling beneath the surface, hunting anything that moves. Cut off from the outside world, the residents of Perfection must band together to outwit the relentless monsters, now dubbed “Graboids,” using only their wits, limited resources, and an unhealthy amount of dynamite.
Fast-paced, suspenseful, and darkly funny, Beneath Perfection brings new depth to the cult horror-comedy classic, delivering thrills and laughs while exploring the resilience of a community under siege, right beneath their feet.

1) I've been a fan of the film "Tremors" since seeing it at 8 years old. 32 years (Christ I feel old). So I might come across as a little biased, but to hell with it, this is a damn good story well written and well told.
Now for the meaty, gloopy goodness!
The novelisation "Beneath Perfection" is not a screen to page adaptation, but an adaptation of the original screenplay for what would become Tremors. For "Tremors" fans this is a long awaited take on the cult classic.
All the major players we know and love from the 1990 movie are present, while some of the characterisation isn't quite there yet, the narrator (The "F*** in Flannel" himself, Zoran "Good luck trying to spell my name without Google" Gvojic) does his up most to inject the inflictions and characterisation that the cast themselves bought to the characters. Zoran's love of the franchise comes through in spades, this was definitely a passion project for him as much as the author and the OG creators.
The story, much like the film, is fast paced, with a runtime just shy of 5 hours, it's about as concise a rendition of the story as you'll get in novel form, not bloated out with unnecessary filler or subplots. All the major beats are here, some of the pieces that were originally cut for budget and/or time on the films production are back, and the Graboids themselves are given much more active a role, thanks in major to not being restricted again by budget, time and practicality of the effects as was the case in 1990.
Overall, this a great listen. It's enjoyable and lasts just about the right amount of time for the commute to work (or Uni) or for those rainy days oh so common this time of year.
So, the overall rating?
