It’s an adaptation and an expansion of the 2009 horror/sci-fi feature.
Filmmaker Stephen J. Hadden has announced that his novelization of his film BIO-DEAD will published August 26 in hardcover, paperback, and e-book, with an audiobook edition coming later this fall. The novel is based on his screenplays for the original movie along with an unmade prequel, and “brings deeper psychological horror, expanded characters, and a bleak, unflinching vision of a frightful future.”
The synopsis: “Set in the decaying remains of Southern California after a deadly bioterrorist attack has killed millions, BIO-DEAD follows a hazmat team dispatched into the contaminated wasteland. What begins as a routine search and rescue mission soon spirals into terror, paranoia and death.”
“Fans of the movie will find familiar horrors–and many new nightmares–in this new adaptation,” Hadden says. “Years ago, we were forced to make numerous compromises on the original movie due to budgetary limitations, so I am grateful for this opportunity to now finally tell the full story as I had originally envisioned.”
The e-book can currently be pre-ordered here.
