While you wait for Tim Waggoner’s Terrifier 3 novelization from Bloody Press (it’s coming soon, we promise!), we’re excited to let you know this week that Waggoner’s acclaimed Terrifier 2 novelization just won him a Scribe Award at Comic-Con over the weekend.
The Scribe Awards were presented on stage at SDCC, and Tim Waggoner’s ultra-gory Terrifier 2: The Official Novelization took home the trophy for “Best Adapted Novel”!
From the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers, the annual Scribe Awards honor “excellence in the field of writing tie-in fiction for media franchises.”
These works include novels, short stories, audio dramas, and graphic novels tied to licenses of movies and TV shows, as well as video games, comics, songs, and even book series.
In this gruesome novelization of Terrifier 2 from Bloody Disgusting and Titan Books, the nightmarish Art the Clown returns from the dead to continue his murderous and mad spree in the sleepy town of Miles County, one year after they survived the events of Terrifier.
Little do they know the nightmare is about to begin anew…
Resurrected by a sinister entity, Art is back with an appetite for murder and mayhem—setting his sights on the recently bereaved teenager Sienna and her younger brother Jonathan. The streets are about to run with blood, and Sienna must somehow survive this gruesome Halloween night and discover how to defeat a brutal and unforgiving killing machine.
