A horror story in Star Wars!? What could it be? Rakghouls? Sith Alchemy? An undead Jar Jar?
At this point it could be anything, personally I'm looking forward to the nightmares

I got my fingers crossed for a tale of an unaligned force sensitive being hunted by voxyn.

it's what I'd write if I were doing horror in the GFFA.

Could Celeste Morne and her Rakghoul plague fit in here too? Or Darth Andeddu?

I have no idea.
I think there are just too many things in the GFFA they could use for horror to even guess what it could be... and too many different genres of horror that could be used with them...

Could it be....
Part of Jacen Solo's Force trip? Specifically, the part where he journeys to Ziost.... Or do I have a one track mind? Barring that, I'm hoping for some Zanibar action. Or... Sith! Here's to totally pee your pants scary Sith alchemy and monsters! Perhaps its the story of Vongerella and how she broke Daye Azur-Jamin and then, tortured Kyle. I'd pray for that to be rated a novel fleshing out, although I don't think we're that lucky. |

Whatever it is, I'm buying it. Period. Maybe this is the key to that King Star Wars book I've been clamoring for. If not... it'll still be awesome,
I'm sure.

Considering what Schrieber has written before, my blind guess is that it will be about a regular guy police officer hunting a serial killer in the underbelly
of Coruscant and that the serial killer turns out to be a Dark Jedi.

Didn't we discuss a possible Corran Horn novel with that premise, back when I first wished for a SW horror novel?

It could be about Corran for all we know now.

I think it will be a Vong-era book. I actually want to read more Vong!

Part of Jacen Solo's Force trip? Specifically, the part where he journeys to Ziost....That sure would be cool. And a horror book....I wonder how that will play out. Daala Count- 20 and counting and Hapans Rule All!

I would prefer an ancient sith novel for this kind of thing but maybe it should be about vongerella just so we can get a freaking background on this character

The Anzati are also a possible focus for this novel. They are virtually alien vampires after all.
I'd be partial to a Dark Jedi OR Sith serial killer as well. That'd totally kill us all with awesomeness. You know what I'd love? If this novel dealt with Yoda V the Bphasshi Dark Jedi. They could lend themselves to horror, after all. Plus, the image in The Essential Guide to the Force where Yoda is crouched in front of a bunch of them deserves an entire novel treatment like that image of Luke/Shadowspawn in New Chronology did with LSATSOM. Also, as others have suggested, Yuuzhan Vong. In specifics, I'd love to see the Yuuzhan Vong's experiments on the Rodians which led to the Vagh Rodiek. Detail THAT in a horror novel, please. I would like to point out though, that I wonder whether or not this will be "tone down" at all. Younger people do read these novels after all...?? If it is anything like the horror elements of either Shadow Hunter or Dark Rendezvous, I'll be pleased, but what I really hope for is MORE horror in this novel. |

Here's something I think might be kind of cool. Two people stranded on Anzat with no way of getting off and no way to communicate with anyone offworld.
Think of that, being surrounded by nothing but Anzati with no hope of escape. Now that would be scary.

Couldn't Traitor count as a horror novel? or at least a novel that wasn't "toned down"
Anakin Solo=BEST SW CHARACTER EVER

Maybe we'll have a vampire novel with a slasher as well as a haunted house?

Darth Plagueis? Of course if Del Rey decides to focus on that cancelled project again I hope they keep Luceno on board. What I aim for --> |

Yes, I was thinking it could have something to do with Plagueis, but I'm with you. If they ever had the gumption to revisit this, it needs to be with
Luceno on board.
Another suggestion for this novel: Atha Prime, "genetics terrorist," and his genetic experiments that plague the New Republic. This could also lend itself to a Shadowspawn and hopefully Cronal connection! I'm hoping though, that whatever this novel deals with, it steers way clear of Doctor Evazan. I don't think we need a full-length novel on him. |

Darth Andeddu?
According to Leland Chee, Lucasfilm Ltd. has "plans" for Andeddu. This possibly referred to either his appearance in Legacy, or the October 2006 official website poll, "With Darth Bane and Darth Plagueis getting novels, which of these Sith Lords would you like to see explored in books?" Andeddu won with 45% of the vote (beating out Darth Vectivus, Freddon Nadd, Darth Sion, and Darth Nihilus).He doesn't have much of back story, and he looks like he would make for a good horror character in my opinion:
