Keep Haunting Adeline & Hunting Adeline Available – And Let the Film Be Made

 

We, the undersigned, believe that adults should have the freedom to choose the books they read and the films they watch.

 

Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton are works of fiction written for an adult audience. They include clear content warnings and are intended for readers who knowingly choose to engage with dark romance.

 

Recently, there have been efforts to remove these books from circulation and stop any film adaptation before audiences have even had the chance to decide for themselves whether to read or watch them.

 

No one is forced to read these books or watch a film adaptation. If someone finds the content upsetting or unsuitable, they have every right to avoid it. But that choice should not take away the choice of others.

 

This petition is about protecting freedom of expression, creative storytelling, and the right of adults to make informed decisions about the fiction they consume.

 

We ask publishers, booksellers, filmmakers, and distributors to continue supporting these stories and to allow readers and viewers to decide for themselves.

 

We support:

 

Freedom to read and make informed choices.

 

Clear content warnings so readers know what to expect.

 

Respect for different reading preferences.

 

The right of authors to write fiction without unnecessary censorship.

 

If you believe in freedom of choice, freedom of expression, and the right of adults to enjoy fictional works intended for mature audiences, please sign this petition and share it with others.
