Darksiders Novel Announced!

It seems that publishers are really trying to fuse together different media, creating a world of content for their games. THQ has just announced that they are going to be including a free novel with the release of their upcoming Darksiders 2 game. To be published by Random House’s Del Rey imprint (same guys doing the Hitman novel), this novel will feature Death, War, and the other Horseman of the Apocalypse. It seems that they have uncovered a plot to resurrect ancient weapons of power. Death and War will have to stop whoever is behind this before it’s too late; could mean a universe spanning war. Sounds Awesome!
The novel is called Darksiders: The Abomination Vault. Based on the synopsis, I’m guessing it takes place before the first game in the series. I wonder what the other horsemen are like?
Update: No, it seems that the novel will not be included with new purchases of Darksiders 2. That comes sold separately!
