Before it’s even hit the shelves, the horror novel has already landed a deal for a feature adaptation. Here’s the latest information on Carrying:

Getting a book picked up before release is nothing to sneeze at, the fact that it’s Samantha Joseph’s debut novel makes it doubly impressive. The latest release of information includes hints of the story and some details about the people picking it up for adaptation.

What’s Carrying about?

The horror novel tells the story of a trans woman living her truth deep in the shadows of the closet, keeping her identity away from the world. One morning, she awakes to unusual symptoms and soon discovers that the impossible has happened, she’s become pregnant. There’s little more to go on for the story’s details at the moment, but more will likely be revealed with the novel’s release.

Who’s behind it?

Josephs will write the screenplay, with Tommy Dorfman (13 Reasons Why) will produce.
