Guns N’ Roses + James Patterson Collab Picture Book: Today In Books

Guns N’ Roses + James Patterson Collab Picture Book

Crime author James Patterson’s imprint Jimmy Patterson Books and the band Guns N’ Roses have collaborated on a children’s picture book. The book, named after one of the band’s famous songs, follows the adventures of their manager’s niece and nephew who grew up on the road touring with the band. You can pre-order Sweet Child o’ Mine, which will publish in September and is illustrated by Jennifer Zivoin.

Christopher Pike + Netflix

The Midnight Club by Christopher Pike is being adapted into a Netflix series by the team that created The Haunting of Bly Manor, the followup to The Haunting of Hill House adaptation. Pike is known for his teen horror novels in the ’90s that, at least in my experience, had middle school and elementary students daring each other to read the books. Chain Letter was no joke!

More Story For The Hazel Wood

For fans of Melissa Albert’s The Hazel Wood and The Night Country you’re getting more! Releasing at the beginning of 2021 (may this cleanse the New Year) will be Tales From the Hinterland, “all of the long-awaited dark and twisted backstories to all of its fairy-tale characters.”

And Another Reading For Charity!
