Echo On Publications has announced its next three official novelizations: Wrong Turn, Martyrs, and House.
Due out in April, all three books are written by Echo On editor-in-chief Christian Francis, who has authored such novelizations as In the Mouth of Madness, Wishmaster, and Tremors.
Based on the screenplay for the 2003 film by Alan B. McElroy, Wrong Turn follows Thomas Avon, who collides with a group of stranded friends whose car was mysteriously sabotaged. Stranded with no cell service and miles from civilization, they set out in search of help, only to discover that something far worse than isolation waits among the trees.
Hunted by a clan of deformed, inbred killers who know every inch of the forest, Thomas and his companions must fight to survive a nightmare of rusted traps, blood-soaked cabins, and a hunger that never dies.
Based on the screenplay for the 2008 film by Pascal Laugier, Martyrs is a harrowing journey that begins with two young women hell-bent on avenging the brutal kidnapping-torture inflicted on one of them when she was a young girl.
What they encounter is a nightmare so terrifying — and a mystery so powerful — it will make you question the world as you know it.
Based on the story by Fred Dekker and screenplay by Ethan Wiley for the 1985 film, House centers on Roger Cobb, a once-successful horror novelist whose world has fallen apart. Haunted by the disappearance of his young son, Jimmy, and reeling from a painful divorce, Roger retreats to his late aunt’s creaky old manor — the house where his son first vanished and where his aunt mysteriously took her own life.
What begins as a quiet refuge to write a memoir of his Vietnam War experiences turns quickly into a psychic nightmare. As Roger struggles with writer’s block and recurring war flashbacks, the house starts to reveal itself as a malevolent force. Walls whisper, garden tools levitate with murderous intent, and grotesque reflections of characters from his memories — or his nightmares — begin to slip into his waking world.
Other upcoming novelizations in the works from Echo On include The Monster Squad, Waxwork, and Tourist Trap.
