Based on the young adult novels
The success of True Blood on HBO and the forthcoming Twilight have appeared to motivate two producers into honing in on another vampire series you can find lurking on the shelves of your local bookstore.
According Variety, the rights to the young adult series “House of Night” have been snatched up by producers Michael Birnbaum (John Tucker Must Die and Jeremiah Chechik (the helmer behind the U.S. remake of Diabolique). P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast are the authors behind the story arc which is said to stretch out through nine books (their fourth has just been released).
In the series, “vampyres” are accepted in society; they possess a genetic anomaly that manifests itself in some people at puberty. Vampyres are “marked” and sent to the House of Night, a school that offers training necessary to become an adult vampyre. The story focuses on Zoey Redbird, whose ordinary life is thrown into disarray when she becomes a vampyre and must change schools and enter a brand new world.
