Zenescope Entertainment will be publishing a new miniseries entitled The Piper which will mark the second spin-off of their very successful independent title Grimm Fairy Tales. The first such series was the surprise hit Return to Wonderland which continues to receive excellent critical reviews and increased monthly readership.
The Piper is an intense horror series which reveals the disturbing past of the infamous Pied Piper, the man who took revenge on a town 700 years ago by stealing its children. The story ultimately picks up in present day Florida and follows a musically gifted but misunderstood high school senior who finds a way to summon the Piper to do his bidding, not fully realizing the ramifications of his actions. "This character we're creating is both terrifying and charismatic and fits a similar mold to classic horror villains such as Candyman (Candyman), Freddie Kreuger (A Nightmare on Elm Street) and Pinhead (Hellraiser). This is going to be a very creepy and extremely entertaining horror mini-series" said Zenescope's VP and Grimm Fairy Tales writer Ralph Tedesco.
The Piper is scheduled for a March 2008 release and can be found in Diamond Previews in January.
