It’s the publisher’s latest revival of a cult-classic horror adaptation.
Encyclopocalypse Publications has announced that it is reprinting Ken Johnson’s novelization of Jeff Lieberman’s 1977 film BLUE SUNSHINE, with release set for February 27. First published by Dale Books in 1978, the book was based on Lieberman’s original script, set in New York City, before budgetary concerns led the film to be shot in California. The synopsis: “It started off as a great party–just eight of them in a ski-lodge in upstate New York. But then the last guest, Frannie, arrived. There was something wrong with Frannie’s hair. And something very wrong with his eyes. And what he did to three of the girls was too hideous for description… That was just the start. After that, things began to happen all over New York–ugly things: psychosis, insanity, murder–and no one could find an explanation. The police were helpless–because they didn’t know that behind all the grisly happenings lay a single, uncontrollable horror. A horror called BLUE SUNSHINE…”
Encyclopocalypse, which has previously reissued novelizations including Jeff Rovin’s RE-ANIMATOR and John Skipp and Craig Spector’s FRIGHT NIGHT, has BLUE SUNSHINE available for pre-order as both a trade paperback and a mass-market edition.
