Clay McLeod Chapman’s novel Ghost Eaters is headed to the screen with a movie adaptation from director Maggie Levin (My Valentine), The Hollywood Reporter informs us today.
Maggie Levin will write and direct Ghost Eaters, with Scott Derrickson (The Black Phone 2) on board to produce the upcoming adaptation of McLeod Chapman’s acclaimed novel.
Scott Derrickson, C. Robert Cargill and Vince Cheng will develop and produce through their label Crooked Highway. Ghost Eaters is being adapted for the screen by Screen Gems.
In Ghost Eaters, “Erin hasn’t been able to set a single boundary with her charismatic but reckless college ex-boyfriend, Silas. When he asks her to bail him out of rehab—again—she knows she needs to cut him off. But days after he gets out, Silas turns up dead of an overdose in their hometown of Richmond, Virginia, and Erin’s world falls apart.
“Then a friend tells her about Ghost, a new drug that allows users to see the dead. Wanna get haunted? he asks. Grieving and desperate for closure with Silas, Erin agrees to a pill-popping séance. But the drug has unfathomable side effects—and once you take it, you can never go back.”
The novel’s description teases, “One of Vulture’s Best Horror Novels of 2022, this terrifying supernatural page-turner will make you think twice about opening doors to the unknown.”
