Reading is fundamental, kids, so maybe you should put down the video games and read a book… about video games. Read on for the latest tome of terror related goodness.

THQ and Random House Publishing Group have announced plans to create both a Darksiders novel titled Darksiders: The Abomination Vault–written by author Ari Marmell–and a Darksiders World Bible. The set is expected to be released at the same time as the Darksiders II launch with the novel receiving publication in May of this year. Darksiders II still doesn’t have an official launch date, but it is being projected to be released later this year.

From the Official Press Release
In DARKSIDERS: THE ABOMINATION VAULT, the Horsemen of the Apocalypse (beings charged with maintaining the Balance between the forces of Heaven and Hell) have uncovered a plot to resurrect ancient weapons of unimaginable power. Death, with the help of his compatriot War, must track down and neutralize the mysterious individuals behind the scheme before the entire universe is plunged into a devastating conflict.
