Darksiders 2 is almost upon us and for those craving even more from the Darksiders world, THQ has announced that you’ll be able to sink your teeth into an upcoming novel based on the universe. The novel, called Darksiders: The Abomination Vault, is written by Ari Marmell and is a prequel to the games. The novel will be out in May.

When you have a great video game franchise, chances are sooner or later someone is going to write a book about it. Dead Space is no different. It was just announced that a book based on the franchise, penned by Brian Evenson, will be released at some point in the near future.

Entitled Dead Space: Martyr, the novel’s plot deals with the following:

“When geophysicist Michael Altman learns of a mysterious signal emitting from deep within the Chicxulub crater, he cannot resist the lure of an undiscovered artefact. He soon learns that being in close proximity to the artefact causes strange occurrences – visions of the dead, vivid dreams, and violent murders. Altman’s experience with the alien artefact leads to this crucial first chapter in the Dead Space saga.”

Considering the success of The Elder Scrolls series, it only make sense that some novels set in the universe be released, right? Bethesda sure thinks so, recently announcing that they have teamed with Del Rey Books to produce a series of novels baring The Elder Scrolls branding.

The first novel in the series entitled The Infernal, written by bestselling author Greg Keyes, will take place after The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion:

Floating high above the land is a strange and mysterious city that is casting a horrifying shadow – wherever it falls, people die and rise again as undead. It is up to an unlikely duo – a seventeen-year-old girl named Annaig and the Emperor’s young son, Prince Attrebus – to rescue the kingdom from doom.
