12:01 Books Imprint
Atria and Emily Bestler Books have announced the launch of a new horror imprint, 12:01 Books, to “develop and publish a carefully curated list of horror novels, working with emerging and established creators and authors to launch compelling books and films.”
The imprint was created in partnership with producer Scott Glassgold of 12:01 films and Emily Bestler, publisher of Emily Bestler Books, with the deal facilitated by Liz Parker of Verve.
Glassgold’s company is already producing adaptations of Bestler titles We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer and Wilderness Reform by Matt Query & Harrison Query. The first book from the new imprint will be Kliewer’s follow-up The Caretaker, expected in 2026.
Bestler says, “Book publishing is going to Hollywood, and what better partner could we have than Scott Glassgold for finding and building content that wows on the page and on the screen?” Glassgold adds, “In both cinema and publishing, it all starts with the written word, This imprint aims to honor those shared origins and provide our authors a platform to harmoniously grow their stories into successful films and books — and there is no better literary partner to achieve this than the incredible Emily Bestler.”
