FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PALM
SPRINGS, Calif. — Based on a real place and real events, Snitchland — the sequel to
Tim Mulligan’s acclaimed Witchland
— is a thrilling new graphic novel that follows the strange and sometimes
terrifying events surrounding an apparent nuclear accident in “the most toxic
place in the Western Hemisphere” — an event that kills one of the two dads of a
family recently transplanted from Seattle. At the funeral, a mysterious
co-worker lets his husband know that she had previously complained to
management about the cause of the accident. What follows ventures into family
trauma, political intrigue and the occult.
“Every town
has its lore and its secrets,” said Mulligan, whose hometown of Richland,
Washington, was home to the world's first nuclear reactors that produced the
plutonium used in the Trinity Test and in the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki,
Japan. It has been the site of multiple radiation incidents over the years.
“It’s amazing that it [Richland] hasn’t made its way into pop culture, and
people don’t know that there’s this place that has such a bizarre and scary
reputation.”
Snitchland takes place six months following the
events of Witchland
and draws upon hundreds of stories from whistleblowers in Richland to tell the
story of a family facing extreme tragedy — misfortune, extreme health concerns,
unsafe conditions and death — after moving to a town plagued by decades of
wrongdoing. A ghost story, a moving family drama and a love story, Snitchland is a suspenseful
and cautionary tale about what can happen when one, or many, tries to shed
light on the dangers lurking in a community — and unspeakable horror happens.
Told with
stunning artwork by illustrator Pyrink, Snitchland
is part of the Witchland Trilogy, a series of scary (and surprisingly funny)
immersive plays, each also adapted into beautiful graphic novels. The trilogy
centers on one truly modern family’s experiences after moving to the town of
Richland, which of course involves working at the infamous Hanford Nuclear
site. The third installment, Twitchland,
is scheduled for release in early 2025.
