A&E Launches Dark Score Stories, Online Prequel to Bag of Bones Miniseries

Today A&E launched an interactive photo-journal and oral history collection titled Dark Score Stories, a prequel to the network’s upcoming TV miniseries, Bag of Bones, an adaptation of Stephen King’s 1998 novel of the same name.

From the release, “In Dark Score Stories, characters from the upcoming miniseries (including those played by stars Pierce Brosnan, Annabeth Gish and Melissa George) come to life in seven striking, photojournalistic portraits and oral histories. Each vignette will provide a glimpse into every day life at Dark Score Lake, Bag of Bones’ setting, and is introduced with an animated still—a unique visual technique with subtle, mysterious movements hinting at the dark secrets bubbling beneath the surface of each tale. Visitors to the site will find a series of secrets hidden in the rich detail of each image, recognizable especially to Stephen King fans.”

The Bag of Bones adaptation stars Pierce Brosnan as protagonist Mike Noonan, a New England writer suffering a mid-life crisis who journeys to his haunted summer house to confront his fears. The series will premiere on Sunday, Dec. 11. Check out the full release here.
