It’s good to see Hammer get back into the horror business. While restoring many of their classic films for Blu-Ray, and producing a new film titled Boneshaker, Hammer is also releasing a number of novels through Random House.
The first, titled The Greatcoat, was written by Helen Dunmore and will be released February 2nd.
This one sounds like paranormal romance – a woman finds an old RAF greatcoat inside a cupboard of the house her and her family recently moved into. From the Hammer site:
One cold winter night when her husband is out on call, Isabel finds an old RAF greatcoat in the back of a cupboard that she uses to help keep warm. Once wrapped in the coat she sleeps and is beset by dreams. She wakes to hear a knock at her window, and to meet for the first time the intense gaze of a young Air Force pilot, handsome and blue-eyed, staring in at her from outside.
His name is Alec, and his powerfully haunting presence both disturbs and excites Isabel. Her initial alarm soon fades, and they begin a delicious affair. Isabel gets lost in Alec and starts to question what is real and what is not.
It will be interesting to see what other novels are released.
