LucasFilm and Del Rey Books will be publishing a Star Wars horror novel on October 27th 2009 titled DeathTroopers.

No Windows No Doors and Chasing the Dead author Joe Schreiber will be taking this first step into uncharted territory by penning the first horror novel in the Star Wars expanded universe. No real story details have been revealed, but the cover art for the book which has been unleashed on StarWars.com is actually pretty cool.
