The Federal Beaureau of Control Presents

by Johannes Winston Wiley

In Anticipation of the Altered World Event due to occur yet again in Bright Falls, Washington, I've been authorized by Director Faden to chronicle the story here. Be warned. Despite all appearances, this is far from a work of fiction. Night Springs, while a commercial success, did nothing to prepare you for what comes next.

There's been some recent controversy in the literary community as of late. Alan Wake, who went missing and was presumed dead for over a decade, seems to have plans to release four new novels in the next two months. Sources say that his publishers are baffled by the sudden appearance of these new manuscripts but insist that they are not a hoax.

Barry Wheeler, Wake's former manager, had this to say:

"I saw the manuscripts themselves and I can confirm a hundred and ten percent that the handwriting belongs to my old buddy Alan. Do I think he's alive? Well, I think anything is possible these days. That being said, as he's technically not alive right now according to the law, Myself and Alice have agreed to publish them posthumously, with all royalties from them going to resources for those struggling with their mental health."

The manuscripts in question will be published under their working titles: Departure, Invitation, Return, and Control. We will release more information as the story unfolds.
