Star Wars Finally Wrote a Horror Novel, and Vader Is the Monster
Random House quietly published Star Wars' first dedicated horror novel on September 1 — Hiding from the Dark by Kiersten White, a middle-grade book that casts Darth Vader as the thing hunting a little girl through the dark. It's a small release with a genuinely bold premise: Star Wars finally admitting its scariest villain was always built for this genre.
