As a die-hard horror fan, I can hardly contain my excitement for Mike Flanagan’s debut novella, “Rare, Fine & Limited,” which is set to be released alongside a special bottle of spirits from Find Familiar. This unique collaboration between Flanagan and Find Familiar, led by Matthew Lillard, Tim Sparapani, and Justin Ware, promises to deliver a chilling tale reminiscent of Edgar Allan Poe’s gothic horror masterpieces.
As Halloween draws nearer, it promises to be an exceptional occasion since Mike Flanagan’s debut novella is now up for preorder, perfect for All Hallows’ Eve reading! However, there’s a unique way to acquire this chilling tale titled “Rare, Fine & Limited“. This exclusive piece by Flanagan can only be obtained by purchasing a special bottle of spirits from the company Find Familiar, co-founded by Matthew Lillard, Tim Sparapani and Justin Ware. The official website of Macabre Spirits, the name of the upcoming alcoholic beverage, reveals that the bottle purchase will also grant fans a copy of Flanagan’s 70-page novella. In an interview with Forbes, Lillard elaborated on this intriguing offer.
Macabre bottles come accompanied by a novella, offering a short story reminiscent of Edgar Allan Poe’s gothic style, but with a more modern twist on horror. When establishing our brand, we wondered who would be the ideal starting point, and a contemporary master like Mike Flanagan was an exciting prospect. Surprisingly, he eagerly agreed to collaborate.
Flanagan is widely recognized for his exceptional work in directing chilling narratives for both television and cinema. This encompasses his masterful translation of Stephen King’s 2013 novel “Doctor Sleep” onto the silver screen, along with his bone-chilling adaptations like “Gerald’s Game,” “The Haunting of Hill House,” and Netflix’s “The Fall of the House of Usher.” As for more eerie tales from Find Familiar, there are promising horrors in store that will undoubtedly be worthy of a toast with macabre spirits in the days to come.
More Macabre Tales to Tell After Mike Flanagan’s Novella
Mike Flanagan continues to push boundaries. His upcoming adaptation of Stephen King’s work, titled “The Life of Chuck“, has been set for a summer 2025 release. For now, though, his primary goal is to share his first novella with horror enthusiasts. However, Matthew Lillard, Flanagan’s colleague, received an unexpected treat when he read Flanagan’s story, “Rare, Fine & Limited“. In the same interview, the stars of “Scream” and “Five Nights at Freddy’s” shared this surprise.
It’s clear we’re friends, yet he was overjoyed by the concept. This is his debut novella, and he has no prior experience in writing short stories. We thought it might be between 5,000 to 10,000 words, but it’s significantly longer due to his enthusiasm and creative outburst. He’s incredibly proud of his work, and we couldn’t be happier, both as a company and personally. We’re delighted to collaborate with him on this project.
During the same conversation, Lillard added that the inclusion of Flanagan’s novella might not be the last addition to the new Find Familiar spirits as part of the Rare, Fine & Limited series. “It certainly paves the way for others to join in,” Lillard explained. Furthermore, they have someone ready for the next installment, but they’re not prepared to disclose it just yet. Later on, Lillard hinted that the upcoming author is a renowned figure in the horror and fantasy literary world.
Excitingly, our focus lies more on the literary aspects rather than the cinematic. Mike is an excellent collaborator, but the individual you’ll be working with next is renowned in the horror and fantasy writing sphere. I have a personal connection with this writer, and their work leaves us eager to officially introduce them at a future time.
If you’re eager to taste Find Familiar’s latest flavor and delve into Flanagan’s novella, “Rare, Fine & Limited,” head over to Macabre Spirits’ official website instantly. Enthusiasts can register for preorders, which kick off on Tuesday, October 22. Regular sales commence on Thursday, October 24; however, collectors might want to place their orders promptly as the first 5,000 bottles will be numbered. As for Flanagan’s critically acclaimed “The Life of Chuck,” it’s set to premiere in theaters during the summer of 2025.
