Since our last report on the film, which Zombie proudly announced The Lords of Salem is getting an R rating, he recently voiced that he has teamed up with novelist, B.K. Evenson, to deliver a tie-in book on March 12, 2013 in anticipation of the aforementioned theater release date. The book promises to go deeper into the story that Zombie presented in The Lords of Salem, and to also allow fans to experience something different from the film.

You can read the synopsis of the novel to get a better idea of it right below:

Heidi Hawthorne is a thirty-seven-year-old FM radio DJ and a recovering drug addict. Struggling with her newfound sobriety and creeping depression, Heidi suddenly receives an anonymous gift at the station-a mysteriously shaped wooden box branded with a strange symbol. Inside the box is a promotional record for a band that identifies themselves only as The Lords. There is no other information.

She decides to play it on the radio show as a joke, and the moment she does, horrible things begin to happen. The strange music awakens something evil in the town. Soon enough, terrifying murders begin to happen all around Heidi. Who are The Lords? What do they want?
