Dying Light: Nightmare Row Novel Revealed by Techland

Written by Brandon Hofer on January 15, 2015

News: Dying Light is getting a novel as well as game with the novel being set prior to the events you will experience when the game is released this month.

Techland has revealed that there is going to be a tie-in novel for Dying Light titled, Dying Light: Nightmare Row. This novel will be a prequel to the events depicted in the game, taking the reader to the days prior to the outbreak that decimated the city of Harran. Dying Light: Nightmare Row is written by Raymond Benson, the author of over thirty published titles, including the official follow-up James Bond novels commissioned by the Ian Fleming Estate.

"Writing the origin story for Dying Light was an exciting adventure for me," says Benson. "I'd always wanted to try my hand at a zombie-genre tale and this gave me the perfect opportunity. The folks at Techland created a rich and intriguingly bleak setting for the game, so that gave me a wonderful and creepy world in which to play around. All fans of zombie fiction, gamers and readers alike, are in for a real treat."

Dying Light: Nightmare Row tells the terrifying story of Mel Wyatt, an 18-year-old American athlete who participated in the Harran 2015 Global Athletic Games two weeks earlier. As one of many Americans stranded in Harran as a result of the outbreak, Mel has been surviving with her little brother, Paul, in an isolated hotel - their parents were killed on the first day of the Infected attacks on the stadium. Thus begins a tense and ticking time bomb thriller of survival.

Techland promises that more details will be released soon such as the release date and how much this novel will cost. Are you interested in a Dying Light prequel novel? Tell us what you think below.
