DeathTroopersKeyartStar Wars releases a stand-alone novel with a difference……
Deathtroopers


Death Troopers will be released on the 13th, october 2009, and is basically a horror novel based in the vast Star Wars universe.
Author Joe Shreiber describes it as “in the vein of The Shining and Alien, with a little dose of William Gibson mixed in.”
Space-battles and lightsaber battles aside, it should come as no surprise to anyone that the genre of horror so easily lends itself to Star Wars. After all, Obi-Wan Kenobi came back as a force ghost and Darth Vader epitomised terror for generations.

From the images released as well as the publishers summary- it seems to be about zombies, and would probably make an excellent video-game( think Doom 3 meets Dark Forces 1)

This is not the first attempt at Star Wars media in the horror genre- in 1998 a couple childrens books were done( The Doomsday Ship, The Brain Spiders, Ghost of The Jedi). The recent Coruscant Nights series was also reminiscant of 1970′s detective movies, even including a wise-cracking protocol droid.

Star Wars once again proves its major influence on everything- fashion, philosophy, art and once more horror.
