Interview: Cullen Bunn Discusses ‘Crooked Hills’; Live Now On Kickstarter
by Brendan M. Allen
Cullen Bunn and I chat about the Kickstarter campaign for his upcoming novel, Crooked Hills. He also touches upon how some of his experiences growing up in small towns became a part of the story, his Outland Entertainment imprint, Outer Shadows, and some of the differences between building a novel and a comic book script.
‘Just in time for the spookiest season of the year, horror writer Cullen Bunn brings Crooked Hills, a horror novel of otherworldly legends and ghost stories, to Kickstarter. This is the first book in a multi-book series for spooky kids and spooky kids-at-heart. While the book is suitable for middle grade readers, Crooked Hills presents a supernatural tale that will thrill readers of all ages.
Crooked Hills is the most haunted town in America. It’s just the news that Charlie needs to salvage his forced vacation to the middle of nowhere. If he’s got to take a family trip to visit relatives, at least he’ll see some ghosts.
But the hauntings in Crooked Hills aren’t the friendly kind, and soon Charlie, his brother Alex, their cousin Marty, and their new friend Lisa are surrounded by dangers: hellhounds, dead witches, strange dreams—and local bullies. Crooked Hills is far more exciting than Charlie expected, but it’s a lot scarier, too…
For young fans of Stranger Things and Paper Girls, this brand new edition of Bunn’s middle grade series starter launches readers into an earlier era of unsupervised adventures, childhood independence, and magical shenanigans.’
