Wishmaster - The Novelization
The Wishmaster movie introduced horror fans to a new and enduring villain - the Djinn. A demonic genie who would offer wishes but would only grant nightmares.
Wishmaster showcased its tale with an abundance of imagination and excitement, establishing itself as a classic worthy of its creator's lineage - yet unlike many of its contemporaries, it never received a novelization - until now!
23 years later, Encyclopocalypse Publications steps into the fray to right this wrong.
Based on the original screenplay by Peter Atkins, this novelization was written by Christian Francis (Everyday Monsters, Incubus The Descent)

I loved the movies some years ago but what about the book? Will it come up with a convincing story? Be assured. It does! Things start to get interesting when an ancient Ahura Mazda statue is broken at the docks while being unloaded and a mysterious red jewel is discovered. What is inside the red stone (you might easily guess what it is)? What is it about the three wishes a djinn grants? Can Alex survive a ferocious djinn on the rampage? Will the djinn win at the end and wipe out the human race? The story line reveals much background information on the djinn myth and has some eerie and gory scenes inside. The djinn described here truly is a nasty villain. You wish him back to hell where he belongs... entertaining, intriguing a very good horror book and must read for all those who liked the movies. Highly recommended!

The novelization of Wishmaster verifies something for me that I've long suspected to be true. While I own it, and I'm able to enjoy it for what it is, I never cared for the 1997 movie altogether too much. It just felt all too cheesy and poorly put together, like it was building on the worst aspects of the Nightmare On Elm Street series. It wasn't the story that was the problem--I now know for sure--because I thoroughly enjoyed this novelization based on the screenplay.
From the tumultuous devastation in ancient Persia to the symmetrical horrors of the climax at Beaumont's party, the descriptions from the narrative--and the visions elicited in my imagination--were far superior to what was executed on the screen under Robert Kurtzman's direction. While the casting choices for the movie weren't bad, Andrew Divoff being a particularly fantastic choice, most of the decisions seemed to be less focused on who would be right for the role and more aimed at drawing in a preexisting audience from other intellectual properties. The absence of performers who felt shoehorned into their roles also made for a better experience through the novelization.
It was enjoyable, following along as an ancient evil was set loose in a modern city, a city unprepared for a creature of magic and malevolence like the djinn.
Sean Duregger's narration was excellent. He especially captured the demonic tone and texture of the djinn's voice, both in its natural form and in the guise of Nathaniel Demerest. He had some pretty impressive shoes to fill, lending his voice work to a character originally played by Andrew Divoff, but he managed to pull it off successfully. Additionally, with a movie that had been narrated by Angus Scrimm (the Tall Man himself), Duregger was biting off a lot more than most would dare...but again, he did it, and he did it justice. There's a reason he's steadily become one of my favorite audiobook narrators.

The book I never knew I needed!
This was definitely like watching to the movie but just listening to it! This book was very good and I enjoyed it ! I would’ve been completed with this book but I had to be an adult lol
Well this book is about a Jinn that takes granting wishes to the next level! The Jinn finds a way to make your wish a living nightmare but you pay with your soul!
I enjoyed it!

I have always enjoyed this movie. And although I cannot recall the franchise's sequels, this novelization has me wanting to revisit them all. And the experience was even better as it was narrated by Sean Duregger as always! The easy route would be to try and be the best Andrew Divoff/Djinn you could be, but Duregger totally makes this role his own and puts a brand new spin on a famous horror villain. I am going to formally request all my favorite horror movies get novelizations and all get narrations from Sean Duregger as his enthusiasm and passion for the trade and the stories he narrates are always on the forefront of his performances making them memorable and long-lasting. I am glad Christian Francis breathed life back into this movie. I think the best novelizations both capture the essence of the film and also make it something fresh. Francis does both with Wishmaster and in a way that makes me want to relive the movies as soon as I can.

In 1997, Wes Craven unleashed the film that changed horror cinema forever.
No, not Scream 2. I’m talking about Wishmaster. (Obviously.)
The Robert Kurtzman, directed special effects bonanza may not have netted the same box-office bucks as Craven’s other productions but through an ensemble cast of horror actors (a veritable who’s-who), a “you seeing this s--t?” series of high-concept gory set pieces, and Craven himself underwriting the production as an executive producer, Wishmaster swiftly established a rabid fanbase on cable, VHS and DVD.
Nowadays the film rubs shoulders with the likes of Hellraiser, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Pumpkinhead as a crowd pleasing example of the “slasher fantastique”, the subgenre that asks, why settle with a guy in a white mask stabbing teens when you can unleash a whole emissary of hell on unwitting American suburbanites?
Peter Atkins, the architect behind the best of the Hellraiser sequels, re-constituted his expertise in the eldritch, service-based demon industry for the screenplay of Wishmaster. It’s one of those movies that always felt like it was based on a novel, in part because Atkins style has a literary flair to it. That’s what made his work on the Hellraiser sequels so strong-- though they’re not based on any Clive Barker works, they somehow have the feeling that they are, as if Atkins conjured Barker’s source material from an alternate reality where Hellbound: Hellraiser II was a best-selling follow-up to the Hellbound Heart and went to town.
Wishmaster has that fully formed sense of lore and mythos, and the character (as played by Andrew Divoff and designed by KNB effects) has this amazing insect otherness to him. Just thinking about how creepy the Djinn is makes me want to dig my Vestron Blu-ray set off the shelf for an all day marathon.
But what happens if we strip all that stuff away? What if we paired Wishmaster down to the story itself? Would it feel like an actual horror novel or would it feel like a scaled down parody of Atkins' script?
That was my question going into Christian Francis’ novelization of Wishmaster. The concept was sound-- after all, it felt the sort of thing Wishmaster would have received back in the day. Did I recall plucking a copy of Wishmaster - The Book of The Movie off an airport turnstyle in 1997, or is that the same part of my brain that fell prey to various forms of the Mandela Effect?
Indeed, it is a recent invention from Encylopacolypse Books, purveyors of novelizations new and old, as well as various pulp and pop culture apocrypha. They are to novelizations what Scream Factory or Vinegar Syndrome are to classic horror or exploitation movie restorations, so of course they’d be throwing their weight behind Wishmaster - The Novelization by Christian Francis.
Thank the Djinn they did. This is the first time I’ve read Francis’ work, though his name is heavily associated with the Encylopacolypse brand. I have to say, as a disillusioned horror reader who is dead inside and hates most things (not unlike a Djinn!), I am thoroughly impressed. His prose recalls Barker’s “Books of Blood” period, an interpretation which makes sense given the Peter Atkins connection and the fact that I can’t look outside my window without seeing a cloud shaped like a Cenobite.
It’s literate, bordering on Lovecraftian, style with an emphasis on fleshing out the Djinn’s lore and understanding his psychology as a monster. It serves to sand down the cheesier edges of the original film, making for a more sinister splatterpunk reading experience. Wishmaster - The Novelization never loses its black sense of humor or sense of blockbuster movie night pacing, Christian Francis just goes harder with it all. It’s exactly the sort of approach the material needs. Faithful, but not so faithful as to leave out the details about what’s really going on inside those spilled entrails on the floor over there next to that guy the Djinn just turned into an inside out stag monster.
Additionally-- in the spirit of honesty and innovation, it is worth noting I received a review code for their Audible iteration, as read by Sean Duregger, whose performance and narration is top notch.
Sean clearly knows the material inside and out and understands the challenges posed by adapting a film like Wishmaster into an audiobook. From an actor’s perspective, the movie is sort of like 'The Expendables’ of horror. You try turning a piece which boasts Tony Todd, Joe Pilato, Ted Raimi, Reggie Bannister and Angus Schrimm (just to name a few) into a one-man reading. Nevertheless he does it seamlessly, conjuring my beloved Djinn, Alexandra, Beaumont and Nick without missing a beat or making me dwell on the absence of Andrew Divoff, Tammy Lauren, Robert Englund or Chris Lemmon.
In many cases he grounds the archness of their “we-know-exactly-what-sort-of-movie-we’re-in” performances into something more earnest and, frankly, terrifying. Take Sean’s version of Beaumont, who started out, to my ears, as a take-off on Englund’s interpretation in the movie, but developed this uniquely unlikeable, sniveling rhythm that makes the Djinn’s payoff at Beaumont’s party that much more delectable.
The audiobook’s version of the Djinn similarly uses Divoff’s poetic croaking as a springboard into the creature’s parasitic psyche, reveling in its antipathy for the human race. He’s like a genie mixed with a trapdoor spider… and Sean paints this picture with only his unique vocal range and inflection. He really makes the part his own.
He has a lot of range outside of the Djinn, but we all know that’s why you’re spending your hard-earned money on an audiobook called Wishmaster, right? It’s not because he also does a good George “Buck” Flower. But he also does that as well. Anyway, his performance and the production itself is A+.
One complaint: the Audible version does not include the forward by Mark Allan Millar, which is an oversight that feels like it could easily be corrected with a single patch. Does Audible have patches? In 2022, everything should be able to receive a patch.
Overall, Wishmaster is an excellent way to extend your love of the franchise and certainly the best thing to come out of the series since the original movie. A fine horror novel on its own, excellent novelization and tremendous audio book reading and production, I would highly Wishmaster - The Novelization recommend to casual and hardcore Djinn fans alike.

I recently rewatched Wishmaster, a really underrated horror flick that I consider to be a bit of a classic.
"If only there were a great novelisation I could read," I sighed to myself, wistful, "one that captures the glee Andrew Divoff put into his performance and paints the film's gorgeous nasty grotesqueries in prose. I wish I could read that!"
And out from the shadows came a dark chuckle, and a voice rang out, dripping with malice and triumph...
"As you wish..."

I received a copy of the audiobook from the publisher and absolutely loved it. The narrator really brings this novel to life and gives each character their own voice. Truly fabulous audiobook.

This movie is from 1997. The novelization was a contemporary novelization, written only a few years ago. It was adapted from an early script.
It’s a pretty good adaptation of the movie. It doesn’t change a lot, but there is a good amount of back story added to certain scenes that I liked. It was a fun read.

I had so much fun reading this! Want to know something crazy? .......I've never seen the movie. So I have nothing to compare this to, however, what I can say is this holds up on its own. I'm almost afraid to watch the movie now because it's going to be like seeing someone take a book and make it into something. If you dig novelizations or just cool horror stories about djinn, then this is going to be right up your alley.

Disclaimer: I was provided a copy of this book free of charge in exchange for an honest review.
The 80s were great for horror fans, with such icons as Freddy Krueger, the Cenobites, Deadites and countless others, it was a joyous time to be alive. Then the 90s arrived and horror seemed to only be interested in slashers and giant animals and, for me, the decade was a very disappointing one. There were a few hits though, with Demons, Relic and, of course, The Wishmaster. With a plethora of recognisable horror stars, it introduced us to the wonderful Andrew Divoff and his screen presence was cemented as a fan favourite.
It has been years since I watched the film, it being relegated along with other classic horrors to my memory and so, in preparation for the book, I dug out my old DVD and watched the film anew. And for anyone who’s interested, affects aside, it is still a fantastic movie and Divoff’s portrayal still enraptures viewers.
I’ve read a few novelisations, Alan Dean Foster’s ‘The Thing’ being one of my favourite works ever, and so it was really interesting to see how similar the book was to the film and, for the most part, it follows the film closely. That said, the kills in the book are far more brutal and from the first death to the last, each is extremely memorable and (for the most part) works better on ‘paper’ than on celluloid.
Of course, words are only as good as the speaker and any narrator has really big shoes to fill portraying Divoff’s version of a Djinn and, having listened to several of the narrator’s works before I am very familiar with his ways of speaking, or so I thought. In Wishmaster, Sean Duregger doesn’t just read his part, he somehow has tapped into some deeper darkness and become the Djinn, each syllable dripping with cold malice and seductive timbre. Compared to the movie, his depicture is different enough to make it his own and yet is deeply steeped in the same vitriolic poison that Divoff used while paying this role.
As novelisations go, this is a must and both context and narration it is faultless and I really look forward to the next in the Encyclopocalyse series.

My favorite Horror of 2021!
This book was absolutely fantastic. From the moment it started until the very end I was totally engaged in it. I found myself creeped out, horrified, cringing as well as trying to think of a wish that would outsmart the djinn. I was seriously shaking my head and begging the characters not to make a wish!! I will not say more as this book should be read without any spoilers in order to fully appreciate its horrific value.
This story was enhanced 1000% by the brilliant performance of Sean Duregger. Wow, I believe this is my first book narrated by Sean but it will definitely not be the last. On a scale of 1-10 his voice has a creep factor of 13. His ability to send chills up my spine was amazing. Absolutely brilliant work. Well done everyone!
I’m calling this my favorite horror story for 2021.
I highly recommend this book.

I remember watching Wishmaster in the 90s and thinking it was great fun. At times, it’s chilling, sometimes funny and ridiculously campy at certain parts — all of which can make for an excellent horror film. With all that in mind, I was eager to read the novelisation to see if the story still held up and whether or not the author added anything to the plot.
I was not disappointed. The story is still a good yarn with lots of gruesome scenes that horror fans will love and plenty of extra character development, adding to the story’s intensity.
If you’re a fan of horror and supernatural stories, or if you enjoyed the Wishmaster movies (yep, there are a couple of sequels), this novelisation is worth checking out. It’s a good adaptation that captures the essence of the original story whilst adding an extra layer of depth and complexity.
I am giving Wishmaster a fair 5/10.

While the book was a decent read....I found that the author at times to pivotal parts of the film and changed the scene to try to make it his own...at times it worked but alot of times it did not...other than that the author told a good spooky story about the dangers of greed and how somethings old as time can still find a worthy advisory out of nowhere....3.5 outta 5

*Audiobook* (3.5)
A very fun adaptation of one of my favorite creature features. A handful of moments that didn’t make it from script to screen are alive here, which is one of the bonuses of film novelizations. The reader of the audiobook has a great Djinn voice.

An entertaining romp for fans of the movie that actually improves on it in a lot of ways, mainly by expanding the characters and using the freedom of a book to do things the movie couldn't afford to on its meager budget.

Solid novelization.
Loved the new details about the Beaumont character to make him even more scummy.

Better than I expected and quite accurate to the movie, bar a few minor additions and some small paraphrasing of dialogue. Enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this book. 4.5 is what I would give it.
