Alone in the Dark writer named News
Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Atari has bagged none other than Lorenzo Carcaterra to write the script for Alone in the Dark.
The New York writer has enjoyed a celebrated career of 20 years, and is perhaps best known for his 1995 non-fiction work Sleepers. It rocketed Carcaterra to worldwide acclaim and has sold more than one million copies, inspiring a film remake starring Brad Pitt and Robert De Niro. It's a great film and an even better book. Seriously.
Alone in the Dark will follow the adventures of Edward Carnaby who one night discovers an earth-shattering secret behind Central Park. It's promised to be filled with the kind of plot twists, cliff-hangers and narrative intensity we expect these days. A bit like Diagnosis Murder, you might say.
The game surprised us a year ago when we saw it in action at last year's E3, but was far from complete. Pop over to our first impressions for a closer look.
Alone in the Dark is due for release on Xbox 360 and PC this November. A PlayStation 3 version will follow sometime after.

There's actually considerable evidence that the book is far from "non-fiction".

Is Sleepers, "push the priest down the stairs"? Or am I thinking of something else?

Yeah... wasn't the author "disgraced" for lying about the content of that book? i.e. he made it all up, but sold it as non-fiction.
So, this is how far he's fallen...

He's always maintained it's a true story, even though nobody has been able to find any record of any murder or trial that matches it. The guy claims that's because he changed all the details, which makes it impossible for anyone to investigate the truth of his claims, but if the case went to court there's no reason for that level of secrecy.
Given the content and context of the trial, it's rather far-fetched that it could have been disguised simply by changing names and locations. |

If you can claim a story is true without a single shred of supporting evidence, then you could claim almost any story is true.
