This year will see the big-screen release of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part 3 starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, and Robert Pattinson. In conjunction with this highly anticipated event, Ace Books (a division of Penguin Random House) will be publishing two special repackages of books from Frank Herbert’s Dune universe and the publisher has given Geeks Of Doom the exclusive cover reveal! See the cover images below, along with details on the upcoming books, including pre-order links.

The first release is a deluxe trade paperback edition of the original Dune novel coming this Summer; the second is a deluxe hardcover box set containing Books 4-6 coming this Fall. Pre-order is available now for both items through multiple retailers.

This Valentine’s Day will see the release of “Wuthering Heights” in theaters, starring Margot Robbie (Barbie) and Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein). This is one I’m looking forward to this year and I love that events like this spark people to read and celebrate books.

A few related books will be published soon in conjunction with the film’s release. Below are details about each one along with images, as well as more info on other collaborations (movie promos, merch, clothing, perfumes, and more!).

Guillermo del Toro‘s Frankenstein, a new film adaptation of Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel, hit theaters this weekend for a limited run before its Netflix debut on November 7, 2025. The director’s take on the classic is visually stunning and brilliant, so I highly recommend seeing it on the big screen while you can.

A few new related books will be published this Fall in conjunction with the film’s release. Below are details about each along with images.

– Coming October 28, 2025 from Penguin Books is the Netflix Tie-In Edition of Shelley’s 1818 version of the novel Frankenstein; Or, the Modern Prometheus. This version includes an introduction by Guillermo del Toro and features a cover with the movie’s creature, played by Jacob Elordi.

– Coming October 28, 2025 from Insight Editions is The Art & Making Of Frankenstein: Written and Directed by Guillermo del Toro. Along with the standard trade edition, two collector editions (Portfolio and Artifact Edition [LE]) will also be available.

– Coming November 25, 2025 from Insight Editions is Frankenstein: The Complete Screenplay, which contains the Guillermo del Toro script along with an introduction by the filmmaker and more.

Kolchak: The Night Stalker 50th Anniversary won the 2022 Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Graphic Novel this Saturday at StokerCon 2023 in Pittsburgh, PA.

The 188-page graphic novel contains 12 all-new contributions from the world of Kolchak: The Night Stalker, which began in 1972 as a TV movie starring Darren McGavin as the title monster-hunting reporter and went on to become a TV series earning cult status that famously inspired X-Files creator Chris Carter.

The anthology, which was conceived and edited by James Aquilone (Dead Jack) and published through Moonstone Books, was funded in January 2022 through a Kickstarter campaign that earned a staggering $110,000.

“Winning the Stoker was a dream come true,” Aquilone told Geeks of Doom soon after his win. “To be in the company of such past winners as Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman is a true honor.”

The films speak for themselves. Back to the Future. Aliens. The Terminator. Blade Runner. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, The Empire Strikes Back. Robocop. These movies have stood the test of time, but they were part of a greater world of 1980s science fiction cinema. 80s sci-fi weaved worlds of the future, dealt with the current nuclear conflict, accurately predicted technological trends, created incredible practical creatures while dabbling with new CGI, and perhaps most important, kept our spirit of inquiry going. Fans of ’80s sci-fi rejoice, as you can now help support and purchase the new almost 5-hour (!) documentary on ’80s sci-fi: In Search of Tomorrow: The Definitive 80s Sci-Fi Documentary.
