Remain—described by Sparks as a “supernatural love story”—is set to be released on October 14, 2025, at the same time the film version is in production. In a plot twist worthy of both Sparks and Shyamalan, the book and the film will tell different versions of the same story.
Sparks recently announced the book tour, which will feature an appearance by Shyamalan at the Philadelphia stop.
In a video posted to social media, Sparks shared the news himself, stating, “Remain is an original supernatural love story that I developed with my good friend M. Night Shyamalan, and I can’t wait to share it with you. Where will I be? I’ll be in New Bern, NC; Plainville, MA; New Orleans, LA; Los Angeles, CA; and—just added—Philadelphia on October 13th and Savannah, GA, on October 14th. I hope to see you there.”
