Del Rey Signs Albion

Amber Benson and Christopher Golden set to write a series of original novels based on their animated online series.

Del Rey Books has signed former Buffy the Vampire Slayer actor Amber Benson and author Christopher Golden to write a series of original novels based upon their BBCi animated online series Ghosts of Albion. Writer, actor and filmmaker Benson is best known for playing Tara on Buffy; Golden is a Bram Stoker Award-winning writer best known for his novels The Boys Are Back in Town, The Ferryman, Strangewood and The Gathering Dark.

Set in 19th-century London, Ghosts of Albion revolves around William and Tamara Swift, siblings who must use their family legacy of supernatural powers to protect England from an ancient evil that threatens to destroy the world, Del Rey said. Benson and Golden created the Web-based series, which launched last March with the first of several 12-minute animated shorts starring Emma Samms and Anthony Daniels. The first Albion novel is slated for the fall of 2005.
