Remember That Mysterious Bad Robot Teaser? The Project Has Been Revealed!

Briefly: A few weeks back, a mysterious, intriguing video appeared on Bad Robot’s official YouTube channel. The internet was ripe with speculation on whether Stranger teased a new, unannounced film or television series. As it turns out, it’s neither.

Bad Robot has debuted a new trailer for the project, which is a book developed by JJ Abrams and written by Doug Dorst, simply titled S. EW was able to take a look at the novel, and describes it as follows:

S. is basically about the relationship between a grad student named Eric and a college senior named Jennifer. They trade notes in the margins of a (fictional) 1949 novel by a mysterious author named V.M. Straka. S. contains the novel within the novel; copious handwritten notes between Jennifer and Eric (“a conversation that plunges them into the unknown,” according to the book jacket); and dozens of pieces of ephemera between the pages like newspaper clippings and a napkin with a map drawn on it.

S. sounds insanely interesting, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. The book releases on October 29. Take a look at the new teaser below, and let us know if you’ll be picking it up!
