![]() ![]() “When I first came up with the idea of Boys in the Valley, I was working as a hand-to-mouth screenwriter out of our rental home’s unfinished garage, a bare bulb hanging over my desk, a space heater at my feet, and an aged laptop at my fingertips. ![]() ![]() Now Peter and those dear to him must choose sides of their own, each of them knowing their lives - and perhaps their eternal souls - are at risk. ![]() Soon, boys begin acting differently, forming groups. Upon his death, an ancient evil is released that infests St. Vincent’s and the children within. Then, late one stormy night, a group of men arrive at their door, one of whom is badly wounded, his body covered with occult symbols carved into his flesh. As he approaches adulthood, he has friends, a future… a family. Peter Barlow, orphaned by a nighttime murder at his childhood home, has made a new life here. They live their lives in a methodical way and get along despite different personalities and pasts. Here, under the watchful eyes of several priests, 30 boys work and learn and worship. Turn of the century, in a remote valley in Pennsylvania. Philip Fracassi’s Boys in the Valley – a chilling blend of The Exorcist, Lord of the Flies, and Midnight Mass – will be published by Nightfire in Summer 2023! ![]()
