A collection of horror novels by bestselling author Anthony Horowitz is to be released as part of EA's Flips e-book series through Nintendo's DSiWare. The compendium, titled More Bloody Horowitz, will be published on May 21st, before the print copies of the anthology is available to the public.
The release is significant in that it is a download-only title, in contrast to the previous Flips DS products. Flips uses various interactive elements to encourage youngsters to spend more time with their head buried in a book.
"I think it's great that my horror stories are going to be available on the DSiWare service," said Horowitz. "It's the best of both worlds; the fun and interactivity of a computer game combined with the pleasure of reading. This is definitely the way forward."
Horowitz is most famous for penning the Alex Rider novels, which tell the tale of a reluctant teenage superspy. Having sold 12 million copies, the Rider books strive to introduce teenage boys to reading, and have seen translation into 28 languages.
More Bloody Horowitz will cost gamers 200 points.
