Amazon Studios announced today that it has optioned its first book to adapt for film, Ania Ahlborn's 2011 debut Gothic novel of suspense, Seed.
"Our primary objective at Amazon Studios is to develop great, commercial projects that our customers love," said Roy Price, Director, Amazon Studios. "Ania Ahlborn's Seed has been a top seller for Amazon Publishing's 47North so we already have a sense of the mainstream attraction of the story and are excited to keep the project in-house for movie development."
Amazon Studios recently hosted a trailer contest allowing fans the opportunity to create the official Seed book trailer and awarded $3,000 to the winning trailer "Grinning Demons", which you can watch below.
Ahlborn's second novel, The Neighbors, is published next month.

Seed
Ania Ahlborn
With nothing but the clothes on his back — and something horrific snapping at his heels — Jack Winter fled his rural Georgia home when he was still just a boy. Watching the world he knew vanish in a trucker's rearview mirror, he thought he was leaving an unspeakable nightmare behind forever. But years later, the bright new future he's built suddenly turns pitch black, as something fiendishly familiar looms dead ahead.
When Jack, his wife Aimee, and their two small children survive a violent car crash, it seems like a miracle. But Jack knows what he saw on the road that night, and it wasn't divine intervention. The profound evil from his past won't let them die…at least not quickly. It's back, and it's hungry; ready to make Jack pay for running, to work its malignant magic on his angelic youngest daughter, and to whisper a chilling promise: I've always been here, and I'll never leave.
