| Title: | THE PHANTOM FOREST |
| Logline: | A young girl is accidentally transported alive to the underworld during her village’s human sacrifice ritual, and ends up teaming up with a demon to return to her world and save her little brother. |
| Pitch: | THE HUNGER GAMES meets PAN’S LABYRINTH |
| Writer: | Liz Kerin |
| Genre: | Drama | Fantasy | Young Adult |
| Why to Read: | The dystopian, fantasy, dark fairytale world of this manuscript could easily be adapted to either film or television. Seicha is a strong-willed and fierce young woman who entertains and enthralls the reader. The power struggle between the people in the forest and those in the city has plenty of drama and tension, while the pseudo-religious undertones of the sacrificial ritual allow the manuscript to examine themes of religion and culture under occupation. This is a complex tale that goes well beyond a simple “escape from” scenario to offer multifaceted moral dilemmas for both the characters and readers alike. |
