![]() Owing a debt, and paying homage, to such classics as “Earth Abides” and Stephen King’s “The Stand,” Cronin’s apocalyptic thriller hits all the right notes. If “The Passage,” by Pen/Hemingway Award-winner Justin Cronin, does only half as well as his publishers are hoping and the book world is expecting, the mainstream writer and his neo-vampire trilogy-in-the- making will be the envy of genre writers and the obsession of vampire- fiction-loving fans the world over.Ĭronin, who already has scored $3.75 million from publishers and another $1.75 million from blockbuster Hollywood director Ridley Scott for the movie rights, has said he wrote the book mainly because his daughter, 8 years old at the time, asked him to write a book about a little girl who saves the world.
