In this episode of Books That Changed My Life, host Chris Collins sits down with visionary horror director Mercedes Bryce Morgan, whose latest film Bone Lake hits theaters today. Known for her distinct visual storytelling in films like Fixation and Spoonful of Sugar, Mercedes brings a love of the surreal and unsettling to the screen—but the book that changed her life might surprise you.
Join us as Mercedes shares how Douglas Adams’ classic sci-fi comedy The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy opened her mind to the absurdity of existence, the beauty of chaos, and the creative freedom that comes from embracing the unexpected. It’s a funny, thoughtful, and inspiring conversation about how a wildly imaginative book shaped the voice of one of today’s boldest directors.
