Witchland: The Graphic Novel by Tim Mulligan
There’s something in the air…
“This book adaptation of the critically acclaimed play WITCHLAND is based on the author’s experiences growing up in Richland Washington, “the most toxic place in the Western Hemisphere,” near the infamous Hanford Nuclear Plant, which in the 1940s and 1950s released significant amounts of radioactive materials into the nearby environment, leading to higher rates of cancer in the surrounding area.
This is the story of a family who moves to this town and the unexplained terror that surrounds them. Is it owed to the nuclear plant…or something more sinister?” (PREORDER – releasing 02-15-2024)
