As we sit here at Dread Central HQ, firefighters are battling the “Bernardo Fire,” which has burned over 1,500 acres of land. We look to take our minds off things by working, but irony has reared its ridiculous head yet again! Read on for the latest on a new addition to Stephen King’s Firestarter canon.

According to TVLine, TNT has announced announced a development slate that in part will help build “a dynamic portfolio of thrilling genre fare,” including a follow-up to Stephen King’s Firestarter novel.

Titled “The Shop,” this supernatural thriller centers on the titular organization that once exploited the pyrokinetic abilities of a young girl named Charlie McGee. Twenty years after bringing The Shop to its knees, Charlie has been tracked down by one of its former members, Henry Talbot, who reveals that The Shop is alive and badder than ever, unleashing terrifying new entities into the world. It’s now up to Talbot, Charlie, and others like her to find The Shop and destroy it for good.
