Fangland is a is a 2007 novel written by John Marks, a former producer for 60 Minutes.
[edit] Plot Summary
Evangeline Harker, Associate Producer on television news magazine The Hour, is sent to Transylvania to scout out a possible story on a notorious Eastern European crime boss named Ion Torgu. But she finds the true nature of Torgu’s activities to be far more monstrous than she could have imagined.
In the New York office that once stood in the shadow of the Twin Towers, Evangeline’s disappearance causes uproar and a wave of guilt and recrimination. Then suddenly, months after her disappearance, she’s found convalescing in a Transylvanian monastery, her memory seemingly scrubbed. But then who was sending e-mails in her name? And what do those crates delivered to the office contain? And why does the show’s sound system appear to be infected with some strange aural virus? As a very dark Old-World atmosphere deepens in the halls of one of America’s most trusted television programmes, its employees are forced to confront a threat beyond their wildest imaginings.
Like its predecessor Dracula, Fangland is written in parts as a epistolary novel through e-mails, diary entries and letters.
[edit] Film adaptation
A film adaptation starring and produced by Hilary Swank and written by Mark Wheaton is in production and is set to come out in 2009.[1]
