Darksiders novel set to accompany game launch
Random House Worlds to develop Darksiders world bible, which will be released with the Darksider II.
THQ and the Random House Publishing Group, have announced that an original novel set in the 'Darksiders' universe will be published by Random House's Del Rey imprint in May 2012.
'Darksiders: The Abombination Vault', written by author Ari Marmell, will take place millennia before the events of the first game of the 'Darksiders' series. Random House Worlds, the Random House Publishing Group's intellectual property creation and development group, will also develop the IP bible for the 'Darksiders' universe.
In 'Darksiders: The Abombination 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.

Along the way, the Horseman discovers that there are far worse things than an earthly Apocalypse, and that an ancient grudge may threaten all of Creation.
