Netflix is teaming up with The Curse of La Llorona writers Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis and producer Sam Raimi for the adaptation of J.A. White’s children’s fantasy-horror novel Nightbooks.
“The tale follows Alex, a boy obsessed with scary stories, who is trapped by a witch in her modern, magical New York City apartment. His original hair-raising tales are the only thing keeping him safe as he desperately tries to find a way out of this twisted place.”
Raimi and Rob Tapert are producing under their Ghost Pictures banner. Mason Novick and Michelle Knudsen of MXN will also produce.
