Kids’ books are usually about (depending on age level) growing up, coping with life and loss, and finding yourself. Kids’ books are not usually about holiday-themed serial killers.

All that changes now, though, as Halloween‘s cinematic slasher Michael Myers joins the ranks of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Harriet the Spy in the children’s section of your local book seller.

Expected to ship by December 1st (just in time for Christmas!) The Legend of Halloween by author (and Halloween 2018 director) David Gordon Green tells the tale of Michael Myers using “eerie rhymes and quirky illustrations,” according to the publisher. In the story, Michael returns to Haddonfield to terrorize Laurie Strode, which moviegoers will recogonize as that thing he always does.

Illustrator Onur Tukel said “Collaborating with David on a children’s book adaptation of Halloween has been demented and surreal, kind of like being possessed by Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein and the demon Pazuzu.”

Halloween, of course, is the 1978 film starring Jamie Lee Curtis that helped kick off the slasher film genre. Eleven Halloween films have been produced and two more are set to be released in the next two years. Blumhouse’s Halloween Kills was to be released this year, but had to be postponed.

The 2018 Halloween movie was the highest grossing slasher film in history. The book project was announced at BlumFest 2020, a virtual event that previewed both the book and a trailer for the movie. You can watch below, after panels about all the other Blumhouse movies that are coming soon.
