Thanksgiving Eve, 1969. Four teenage boys sneak into the newly opened World of Darkness exhibit at the Bronx Zoo after hours. What begins as a holiday adventure becomes a nightmare—and only one of them survives.

Forty years later, Joey Corrio is still haunted by what happened inside. But some memories refuse to remain buried, and the darkness that claimed his friends may not be finished with him yet.

Set against the streets of the Bronx and spanning four decades, THE WORLD OF DARKNESS is a supernatural horror screenplay about childhood fear, guilt, memory and the terrifying possibility that some doors, once opened, can never truly be closed.

Four boys entered the darkness.
Only one came out.
Forty years later, it wants him back.
