More on ‘The Twelve’—sequel to ‘The Passage’

Posted on 9 March 2011 by Trisha, Managing Editor

We recently posted our insider information about Justin Cronin‘s The Twelve—now, with the announcement of a paperback cover and release date of May 17 for The Passage (one of our best books of 2010), there’s a bit more to report.

EW has printed a short extract from The Twelve—here’s the beginning:

Do you prefer the hardcover or paperback cover for The Passage? Both are subtly creepy in a way that fits the story, but I think I like the twilit woods…

There’s still no pub date for The Twelve, although it’s expected to hit shelves sometime in 2012. (ETA: pub date is August 28!)

    2012 cannot come fast enough for me.

    I like the hardcover version myself, although this is the first I’d seen the paperback.

      I know someone who is friends with Justin Cronin, and he’s definately sold the movie rights. A high-end screenwriter is writing the screen play.

    come now we cant wait until 2012.
    Amazon must make a plan and let us have it on Kindle sooner than the print copies.

    I am 100% biased, but I’m fond of the Cemetery Dance Limited Edition cover:

    I read “The Passage” over twelve months ago and found it a tremendous book. Surely it can’t be much longer till the next one. I wait in anticipation……
