Earlier today on Twitter, I alluded to a new two-book deal that would be announced soon. Turns out it was announced today. And so, with no further ado, here’s the official announcement:

THE ASTONISHING ADVENTURES OF FANBOY AND GOTH GIRL and BOY TOY author Barry Lyga’s I HUNT KILLERS, a dark thriller described as DEXTER meets THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS for teens, about a teen boy who uses his killer instinct, inherited from his serial killer father, to help solve a series of gruesome murders, to Alvina Ling at Little, Brown Books for Young Readers in a two-book deal, for Spring 2012 publication, by Kathleen Anderson at Anderson Literary Management.

Does this mean I’m done writing “Brookdale books?” Not at all! I just have lots of different ideas. This is one of them.

I’ll be providing some more details and information in the weeks ahead. In the meantime, I’m really looking forward to telling this story!
