Cult Horror Classic Spider Baby Returns — Now as a Novelization From Encyclopocalypse Publications

Encyclopocalypse Publications announces the first official novelization of Jack Hill’s 1967 film Spider Baby, adapted by author Dayna Noffke and available now for pre-order.

Encyclopocalypse Publications is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Spider Baby: The Novelization, the first-ever prose adaptation of Jack Hill’s legendary cult horror film. Written by acclaimed author Dayna Noffke, the book is set for release on June 10, 2025, and is now available for pre-order in multiple formats.

A faithful and expanded retelling of the 1967 black comedy horror classic, the novel explores the eerie decline of the Merrye family—isolated descendants of a fictional genetic condition—and the unsettling visitors who trigger their final unraveling. Featuring beloved characters like the caretaker Bruno and the dangerously childlike siblings Elizabeth, Virginia, and Ralph, the book expands on Hill’s original screenplay while staying true to its gothic charm and macabre humor.
