Here's how the book is described:

"Nothing is as simple as it seems -- the old ways have been destroyed and a dangerous new world lies in its wake. Where are Elliott Spencer and Kirsty Cotton? Who will rule and who will serve?"

The book will be written by Hellraiser creator Clive Barker and Brandon Seifert, with art by Tom Garcia.

"I grew up with Hellraiser and Clive's novels -- so it's a huge, surreal honor to be collaborating with him on The Dark Watch," Seifert said. "Under Clive's direction, the Hellraiser ongoing series has gone in some radically different directions over the last two years. I'm really excited for what's next -- and even more excited that I get to be involved."
