Session 9

Session 9 The Official Novelization, is based on the classic 2001 motion picture by acclaimed director Brad Anderson. Released 23 years after the film first haunted audiences, this new novel by horror and dark fantasy author Christian Francis arrives just in time for the spooky season, promising to deliver a wealth of fresh nightmares to a new generation. Francis, known for his gripping novelizations of Wishmaster, Titan Find/Creature and Vamp, delves deeper into the eerie madness that made Session 9 such a horror gem. Set against the backdrop of the real-life abandoned mental institution, the Danvers State Hospital, the film's atmospheric dread is reimagined on the page in Francis' adept hands. This novel expands on the film's screenplay, offering fans new insights into the characters' psyches and unveiling more twisted, dark secrets from within the sinister asylum.

"Bringing Session 9 into a literary form has been a huge honor for me," said Francis. "Brad's movie is a personal favorite since I sat in the cinema watching it back in '01, and I relished being able to expand on its themes and explore the horrors within. My novelization is not only a tribute to Brad's amazing creation, but also an invitation to revisit the fear that it first inspired in audiences."
