C.J. Cooke’s The Lighthouse Witches, released by Penguin Random House in 2021, is next becoming a TV series from Studiocanal and The Picture Company, and Deadline reports today that Vera Miao (“Two Sentence Horror Stories”) has come on board as showrunner.
Here’s the full plot synopsis for The Lighthouse Witches…
“The book follows young mother Liv and her three daughters who arrive on a mysterious Scottish island to run a decrepit lighthouse.
“When single mother Liv is commissioned to paint a mural in a 100-year-old lighthouse on a remote Scottish island, it’s an opportunity to start over with her three daughters–Luna, Sapphire, and Clover. When two of her daughters go missing, she’s frantic. She learns that the cave beneath the lighthouse was once a prison for women accused of witchcraft. The locals warn her about wildlings, supernatural beings who mimic human children, created by witches for revenge.
