Readers who have followed the weird and wicked journey of the truly modern family at the center of the Witchland series of graphic novels should brace for a nuclear meltdown of addiction, horror and humor in the latest installment, Twitchland.
“It’s gritty, grotesque and (hopefully) unforgettable — a radioactive fever dream we can’t
wait for you to read,” said author Tim Mulligan.
Mulligan’s World of Witchland Series is a collection of scary, surprisingly funny and
beautifully rendered graphic novels set in Richland, Washington, a very real town
deemed “the most toxic place in the Western hemisphere” thanks to a now-defunct
nuclear site that is leeching deadly waste into the soil.
The first book in the series, Witchland, follows the journey of an unsuspecting family
that moves to this mysterious town and comes face to face with ghosts of the past,
including a witch who haunts their lives. Witchland’s spine-tingling sequel, Snitchland,
unravels a new chapter for the family and serves up a cautionary tale as whistleblowers
attempt to shed light on the real cause behind a collapsed tunnel at the nuclear site.
And now, Twitchland offers a compelling take on the drug epidemic hitting towns across
the country, as local bats find their way into the buried tanks of radioactive toxic waste
— and a new type of "monster" is born.
“Throw together a drug addiction culture with toxic waste in the haunted town of
Richland, and you have the makings for a terrifying and wholly unique graphic novel
unlike anything you've ever expected,” Mulligan added. “Think Trainspotting
meets The Lost Boys meets The Toxic Avenger.”
Mulligan’s gripping Witchland series plunges readers into the heart of nuclear
nightmares, where the past refuses to stay buried, where ghosts whisper from the toxic
fog, and where the land itself is poisoned with something far worse than radiation.
