Joe Hills 'Twittering from the Circus of the Dead' to become a film

The short story, written entirely as tweets from a teenage girl, first appeared in the anthology book The New Dead and follows an American family on a cross-country road trip that goes horribly wrong. 

Joe is the son of Stephen King and new Hollywood Golden Boy for the new generation horror genre. Fresh blood equals (well) fresh blood. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mandalay has picked up the film rights to Hill’s short story Twittering from the Circus of the Dead. The company is moving fast to put the creative pieces together, tapping Chris Borrelli (The Vatican Tapes, Whisper) to write the adaptation and negotiating with Todd Lincoln (The Apparition) to direct.
