illustrated novel. Set in a post-apocalyptic 1997, The Electric
State is the story of Michelle who, accompanied by her toy robot
Skip, sets out across the western United States in a stolen car to
find her missing brother. Told in achingly melancholy, spare prose
and featuring almost a hundred gorgeous, full-colour illustrations,
The Electric State is a novel like no other. Rights in The Electric
State have already sold in thirteen territories and Deadline
reports that the film rights were snapped up by the Russo Brothers'
production company (Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain
America: Civil War) with Andy Muschietti (Mama, It) attached to
direct.

Visionary illustrator and author SIMON STALENHAG (THE ELECTRIC
STATE, TALES FROM THE LOOP) presents a tense, dark tale of ruin and
vengeance set among a stunning sci-fi apocalypse like you've never
seen before. An eight-wheeled vehicle trundles across a barren
landscape of ash and ruined buildings toward a lone bunker deep in
the wilderness. Inside the vehicle are three passengers: two
scientists-who plan to use the outpost as a home base for the study
of world-ending phenomena-and a boy named Charlie. As the work
unfolds, the isolation and claustrophobia of the compound threatens
each member of the expedition with madness. Forced to confront
their own dark history and the struggles of the haves and
have-nots, the members of the expedition find themselves hurtling
toward ruin.
