The Novelisation of the Film

A New English Library Original Publication, 1980
1980 by Diverse Music Ltd
ISBN 0 450 04955 8

121 pages in traditional NEL pulp style (you can read it in a few hours). Nothing here that isn’t covered in the film and a few bits that suggest that the author wasn’t hugely clued up about the scene. Also fails to capture the feel of all-encompassing oppressive doom that the film conveys towards the end. Worth picking up second-hand if pulp fiction is your thing and you can find a copy…
