Last summer’s must-read vampire thriller, The Passage, will be released in paperback next Tuesday, May 17th. The paperback version of Justin Cronin’s popular book contains an exclusive excerpt from book two in the trilogy, The Twelve, which will be out in 2012. I’m not sure if it’s the same sneak peek that will be found in the paperback, but Hachette Australia recently posted an excerpt [...]
If you’re hoping for a vampire movie that isn’t a Twilight rip-off, I have some good news. FOX 2000 is finally moving on its adaptation of Justin Cronin’s terrific epic novel THE PASSAGE. FOX bought the rights back in 2007 with Ridley Scott attached to direct and John Logan providing the script, but no film materialized. Fortunately, that seems to be about to change. Per [...]
As I’ve mentioned before, I loved Justin Cronin’s The Passage, and it’s one of the books I recommended most in 2010. Recently someone asked me, “So when does the sequel come out?” Good question! So I did a little digging and here’s what I found: Book 2 is called The Twelve and will be out in 2012 Book 3 is called The City of Mirrors [...]

These are the books I enjoyed reading the most this year, and I highly recommend them to you too. Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins The third [...]
Emily St. John Mandel over at The Millions observes that post-apocalyptic fiction seems to be everywhere this summer, and I couldn’t agree more. The two books I was looking forward to reading the most this summer—The Passage by Justin Cronin and Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins—both fall into the dystopian/post-apocalyptic genre. This is actually something new for me because I didn’t always like these types of [...]

The Passage by Justin Cronin isn’t your typical beach read, but it’s still poised to be the biggest book of the summer. Now that I’ve read it, I think it deserves all the hype that surrounds it and then some. The Passage is an ambitious, epic story that manages to be grounded in science, yet mystical at the same time. It grabbed me from the [...]
The Passage by Justin Cronin debuts on Tuesday, June 8, 2010, but it has been getting a ton of buzz for months now. It’s the first book in a planned trilogy, and, yes, it’s about vampires, but these are no sparkly, vegetarian vampires. In The Passage, a military experiment to create super soldiers goes awry and millions of people end up infected with a virus [...]
