Wishmaster – The Novelization

by Christian Francis

In the fall of 1997, Wes Craven presented the world with a brand new Horror franchise.  Written by the creator of Hellraiser 2, 3 & 4, Peter Atkins, and directed by one third of the legendary KNB Effects Group, Robert Kurtzman – Wishmaster was an instant genre hit upon release, and went on to spawn 3 sequels. The movie introduced horror fans to a new and enduring villain – the Djinn. A demonic genie who would offer wishes but would only grant nightmares. Wishmaster showcased its tale with an abundance of imagination and excitement, establishing itself as a classic worthy of its creator’s lineage – yet unlike many of its contemporaries, it never received a novelization – until now! 23 years later, Encyclopocalypse Publications steps into the fray to right this wrong. This novelization is based on the original screenplay by Peter Atkins.
