HARDCOVER, EBOOK AND AUDIO

A BETTER PARADISE Volume One: An Aftermath is the first novel in a new series of books from Dan Houser, head writer and creative director of Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto games. The debut novel is published by Absurd Ventures Press and is now available in hardcover, eBook and audiobook with distribution in the US and UK by Simon & Schuster. The audiobook is read by legendary narrator Ray Porter and exclusively available on Audible.

Set in the near future, A BETTER PARADISE Volume One: An Aftermath tells the story of the ill-fated development of an ambitious but addictive video game project that goes very wrong. As the software they developed starts to produce unexpected and disturbing results, the project is shut down and left abandoned and undiscovered. Until now.

Adapted from the chart-topping A BETTER PARADISE audio fiction series, the novel goes deeper into the origins and secrets of the mysterious Tyburn Utopias video game project - as told by the tortured souls now on the run from the AI entity they played a part in creating and unleashing.

“At its heart, this is a mythological story about video game development. I have always felt this is fascinating source material for narrative fiction and am finally getting the opportunity to explore it with A Better Paradise Volume One: An Aftermath.”
– Dan Houser
