Mattel inked deals with ABRAMS and IDW to create a new Monster High Publishing Program. The Monster High universe expands with the launch of two new novels and a comic book series.
“Ever since Monster High’s original launch in 2010, the franchise has been rooted in storytelling,” says Ryan Ferguson, Global Head of Publishing at Mattel. “We’re so ‘hexcited’ to continue this tradition by partnering with Abrams to extend the world of Monster High with a new original middle-grade novel. Regarding our alumni characters, the ultra-engaged Monster High fangdom has had a common ask… ’What happened next?’ We’re thrilled to partner with ABRAMS and IDW to answer that question.”
Fans better prepare for treats and tricks this spooky season. A Fright to Remember (Monster High School Spirits #1) is a middle-grade novel that follows the Monster High ghouls as they go on new spooktacular adventures. Written by Adrianna Cuevas, this freaky, fabulous novel will be available this Halloween.
Draculaura will steal your heart with her appearance in Once Bitten, Twice Dead. The popular Monster High character faces grief, love, and the meaning of friendship as she uncovers hidden secrets. The young-adult novel by Tiffany Schmidt features Monster High alumni characters and will be released in spring 2024.
The party never dies when you’re reading Monster High: New Scaremester. Fans can read the 32-page comic set in the Monster High alumni world. The first comic of this 10-book monthly series will be released on Free Comic Book Day on May 4.
Freaky gets fabulous with the Monster High publishing program. Fans of werewolves, vampires, and ghouls can learn more about what’s to come at mattel.com.
