Sarah Lotz Signs Six-figure Book Deal With Hodder and Stoughton for The Three and a Second Book
Alert! Sarah Lotz has accepted a pre-emptive six-figure offer from UK publishers Hodder and Stoughton for her novel The Three, as well as another book.
Lotz’s agent, Oliver Munson from Blake Friedman, submitted a partial manuscript to a group of editors ahead of the Frankfurt Book Fair and the deal was snapped up by Hodder and Stoughton less than a day later.
Lotz is the author Tooth and Nailed, Pompidou Posse and Exhibit A as well as the co-author of horror novels, The Mall and The Ward written with Louis Greenberg as SL Grey and the co-author of Deadlands and Death of a Saint, along with her daughter Savannah, under the name Lily Herne.
Congratulations Sarah!
Just days before Frankfurt, Hodder and Stoughton have had a major pre-emptive offer accepted for world rights in THE THREE and one other novel by Sarah Lotz. The offer was made on the strength of a 33 page partial manuscript less than a day after Oliver Munson had submitted to a select group of editors. Rights have so far been sold by Hodder in the US to Reagan Arthur Books, Editrice Nord in Italy and Fleuve Noir in France with auctions and offering underway in many other territories.
From the book blurb
The world is stunned when four commuter planes crash within hours of each other on different continents. Facing global panic, officials are under pressure to find the causes. With terrorist attacks and environmental factors ruled out, there doesn’t appear to be a correlation between the crashes, except that in three of the four air disasters a child survivor is found in the wreckage.
Dubbed ‘The Three’ by the international press, the children all exhibit disturbing behavioural problems, presumably caused by the horror they lived through and the unrelenting press attention. This attention becomes more than just intrusive when a rapture cult led by a charismatic evangelical minister insists that the survivors are three of the four harbingers of the apocalypse. The Three are forced to go into hiding, but as the children’s behaviour becomes increasingly disturbing, even their guardians begin to question their miraculous survival…
