The Wishmaster — Peter Atkins

"Wes Craven presents 'Wishmaster,' written by Peter Atkins." The poster campaign for this Hollywood film credited the writer alonside the producer. "Wishmaster" became America's most successful independent theatrical feature of 1997. So here is your chance to read the original screenplay and to let your own directorial imagination work on the script.

And alongside his imaginings for Hollywood, Peter Atkins writes short stories where genres overlap, and he sidesteps our expectations with a smile. In this collection he shows us: the strategies of a man for dealing with his fear of flying; how dangerous it may be to challenge the power of old fairy tales; the saturnine Doctor Arcadia at his work; and how a man may react to the shock of a new possession.
