Today's Read Contributor Charlie Shaw’s Revenge novelisation launch brings Drop Dead Films and Scorpius Books together on 28 May 2026 at Knockhatch Adventure Park.
Drop Dead Films is pleased to announce the official launch event for the Charlie Shaw’s Revenge novelisation, taking place on Wednesday 28 May 2026 at Knockhatch Adventure Park, Hailsham, one of the key filming locations featured in the movie.
What began as a gripping psychological thriller on screen now continues its journey in print, as Scorpius Books brings the Charlie Shaw’s Revenge novelisation to readers worldwide. The launch event marks a significant milestone for the production, transforming a cinematic experience into a literary one and inviting audiences to engage with the story in a deeper, more immersive way.
A New Chapter For Charlie Shaw’s Revenge
Published by Scorpius Books, the novelisation is an adaptation of the film Charlie Shaw’s Revenge from writer and director John Langridge of Drop Dead Films. The book was commissioned and written by renowned horror writer Matt Shaw, who adapted the screenplay into a standalone narrative designed to captivate horror and thriller readers while remaining faithful to the tone and intensity of the original film.
Unlike a traditional tie-in release, the Charlie Shaw’s Revenge novelisation expands the emotional and psychological depth of the story. Readers are drawn into the internal experiences of the characters, gaining insight that goes beyond what is seen on screen. This approach allows the story to stand independently while still enhancing the cinematic version.
Availability Across Major Retail Platforms
The book is now available to purchase via Amazon, Waterstones, Bookshop.org, World of Books, and many other retail outlets, ensuring wide accessibility for readers across multiple regions and platforms.
This broad availability reflects the growing demand for cross media storytelling, where audiences engage with a narrative across multiple formats. In this case, the film experience is extended and deepened through literature, giving fans and new readers alike multiple entry points into the world of Charlie Shaw’s Revenge.
Knockhatch Adventure Park Book Launch Event
The upcoming launch event on 28 May 2026 invites fans, local supporters, and the wider community to celebrate the story in the very setting where part of the film came to life. Knockhatch Adventure Park provides a meaningful and atmospheric backdrop, connecting the physical filming environment with the creative evolution of the story in book form.
Guests attending the event will have the opportunity to meet writer/director John Langridge and author Matt Shaw, learn more about the filmmaking process behind Charlie Shaw’s Revenge, and purchase copies of the novelisation on the day. The event is designed to be both a celebration and a direct connection between the creators and the audience.
A Collaboration Between Film And Literature
The Charlie Shaw’s Revenge novelisation represents a creative collaboration between Drop Dead Films and Scorpius Books, bridging the gap between cinematic storytelling and literary adaptation.
The project began with the original screenplay by John Langridge, which established the tone, pacing, and psychological foundation of the story. Author Matt Shaw was then commissioned to transform that screenplay into a fully realised novel, expanding character perspectives and deepening emotional arcs.
This collaboration ensures that the novelisation is not simply a retelling, but a fully developed companion piece that stands on its own as a work of fiction.
Why The Novelisation Matters
The Charlie Shaw’s Revenge novelisation reflects a growing shift in modern storytelling, where audiences expect narratives to extend beyond a single format.
In this case, the book allows readers to experience the story in a more intimate and reflective way. Internal thoughts, motivations, and emotional tension are explored in greater detail, offering a different kind of engagement compared to the visual film experience.
This dual format approach strengthens the overall Charlie Shaw’s Revenge universe, allowing audiences to engage with the story at multiple levels.
Expanding The Charlie Shaw’s Revenge Universe
Drop Dead Films continues to develop the wider storytelling universe around Charlie Shaw’s Revenge, with the novelisation acting as a key extension of the project.
The official website, charlieshawsrevenge.com, provides updates on production developments, festival plans, and behind the scenes insights. Fans can also follow Charlie Shaw’s Revenge on Instagram and explore IMDb listings for further information on the film’s progress and release journey.
This interconnected approach ensures the story continues to grow beyond its original format, building long term engagement with audiences.
