“I’m so excited. This book f***ed me up as a kid in the best way, and I can’t imagine a better person to adapt it. Also loved the little recreation of the book cover!” tweeted a second person.
A fan of Flanagan added: “I’m prepared to experience sleepless nights and heartbreak all over again.”
“Mike Flanagan has yet to disappoint me, I will be seated,” another viewer has expressed.
The story revolves around a group of young adults who meet at a hospice and read chilling stories to each other, however, when one of them dies, strange occurrences start to happen.
The synopsis for the show reads: “At a hospice for terminally ill young adults, eight patients come together every night at midnight to tell each other stories – and make a pact that the next of them to die will give the group a sign from the beyond.”
The project was initially announced back in 2021 by the acclaimed horror director, who had previously directed Doctor Sleep, the prequel to Stephen King’s famous novel The Shining.
