I have the movie rights (per www.iuniverse.com agreement) and copyrights (Txu903-642) to the story and currently have the book published by a print-upon-demand company (http:www.iuniverse.com) that is owned by Barnes & Noble Book Store. I do also have a written screenplay on the book, which was originally published October 2000.
SYNOPSIS OF ALASKA CRYING BABY
This is an supernatural, fiction, Alaska, shaman, thriller-terror book that starts out over a hundred years ago in Alaska and ends up in New York City during the mid-1990s. Coupling Eskimo customs and varying legends of Alaska along with customs associated with walking through New York City Streets today, Alaska Crying Baby reveals many instances of human strength and weaknesses. Moments of humor are closely followed by sheer terror, keeping the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride right up to the end of the story. This book has many scary episodes and humorous jokes written into it.
There are seven parts to the book consisting of 73,000 words, 270 pages in a 6”X9” format.
(1) Eskimo hunter successfully hunts moose in Alaska a hundred years ago and is demised by an evil spirit, the Alaska Crying Baby while heading back to the village with his pack dogs. (Parts 1 – 3 are approximately 20% of the book.)
(2) A village shaman recognizes that the evil and immortal spirit is back after a hundred years absence that is out to catch and kill his victims, one at a time by themselves out in the tundra; he sends runners to surrounding villages for their shaman to come to his village to do a weeklong medicine-making gathering to protect themselves from the evil spirit.
(3) A chosen shaman from the group is sent out and promptly demised by the Crying Baby – in the meanwhile, a Johnny-come-lately shaman comes to village and asks for permission to go out and meet the Crying Baby, gets permission, prepares himself for the eventual meeting.
(4) Present-day – mid-1990s: An Eskimo graduate student goes to New York City from Chicago during spring break for the purpose of doing a walking tour and is demised by a gang. (Parts 4-7 are approximately 80% of the book.)
(5) Grandpa shaman gets a call from an NYC detective to come and claim his grandson’s body.
(6) The Eskimo shaman makes medicine in NYC to find out who killed his grandson.
(7) The shaman makes medicine that brings the northern lights to NYC, that has the Crying Baby in them, demising the gang, one by one in gruesome ways that keeps everyone guessing what is going to happen next and especially, the unexpected ending of the story. This is the author’s intent, to keep the reader curious enough to find out what is going to be happening next, whether it is drama or humor.
