From RUE MORGUE:
Echo On Publications will release a novelization of Lucio Fulci’s Italohorror landmark ZOMBI 2 (a.k.a. ZOMBIE) October 30 in paperback, hardcover and eBook, with an audiobook edition coming in winter 2026/27. As the title suggests, author Christian Francis has returned to Elisa Briganti’s original screenplay for his adaptation, restoring and expanding material that was altered, omitted or unrealized during filming.
“Even the characters have been drawn from their original descriptions on the page rather than the appearances of the actors who ultimately portrayed them,” according to Echo On. “The plot, though, remains unmistakably ZOMBI 2: A deserted yacht drifts into New York Harbor, sending Ann Bowles on a search for her missing father. Joined by journalist Peter West, she follows the trail to the remote Antillean island of Matul, where the dead are rising…and rotting, maggoty flesh is never far from sight.”
