DiGa Studios options Amy Plum’s yet-to-be-released YA horror novel about insomnia DREAMFALL for a TV series. 

The book hasn’t been released yet, however, Amy Plum‘s next novel series has already made news in Hollywood. DiGa Studios has optioned the YA thriller novel Dreamfall for a TV series. The story has shades of A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Matrix, and Flatliners rolled into one, where a group of teen insomniacs are stuck in an experiment gone awry and have to work together to escape.

“Seven teenagers who suffer from debilitating insomnia agree to take part in an experimental new procedure to cure it because they think it can’t get any worse. But they couldn’t be more wrong. When the lab equipment malfunctions, the patients are plunged into a terrifying dreamworld where their worst nightmares have come to life—and they have no memory of how they got there. Hunted by monsters from their darkest imaginations and tormented by secrets they’d rather keep buried, these seven strangers will be forced to band together to face their biggest fears. And if they can’t find a way to defeat their dreams, they will never wake up.”

DiSanto, the CEO of DiGa Studios, had this to say about the story:

“Amy Plum’s Dreamfall is a riveting, nightmarish thriller with great characters and a fantastic premise that immediately captured our imagination and drew us in.”

“The book’s vision and voice is a perfect fit for DIGA’s creative sensibility, and we are thrilled to bring this to the screen.”

Dreamfall is scheduled to be published May 2, 2016, and you can pre-order a copy now.

Book two of the duology is titled Neverwake and will be released May 2018.
