Bantam has confirmed that it will publish a novel based on upcoming horror romp Dead Island later this year.
Due out alongside the Techland-developed zombie outing this September, the novel, penned by acclaimed horror writer Mark Morris, offers readers a “glimpse into the horrors thrust upon the four individuals who have unwittingly embarked upon the ultimate holiday from Hell.”
The press blurb adds: “For guests of the five-star Royal Palms Resort it was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime dream holiday; an escape to the stunning beaches of a tropical paradise unlike any other. But a mysterious zombie outbreak suddenly – and without warning – rips apart the pacific paradise island of Banoi, and four individuals with distinctive backgrounds and abilities seem to be unaffected by the zombie apocalypse.”
Bantam’s Dead Island novel will be released on September 8, priced £6.99.
