The story follows two girls, Vivian Singh and Amy Tanaka who are once again pitted against a dark force as they travel back in time to uncover a deadly mystery surrounding a local farm where teenagers have been killed.
“There’s no other horror brand that has captured the zeitgeist with boldness and fan connection than Blumhouse and we are thrilled to be partnering on developing this adaptation,” said Matthew Medney, Co-Publisher, Asgard Books. “Patricia Villetto is totally the right person to develop the voice for the immersive world of Sunnyside that Cozy Game Pals has developed. We’re beyond excited to be publishing the Fear the Spotlight graphic novel.” said Eric Rotelli from Asgard Books.
