A Sick Puppy Book?

As part of the National Novel Writing Month, Sick Puppy Rob has pulled on his writing trousers (loose at the knees, padded bottom, fluid retention system for those times when you really can't pull yourself away from the keyboard) and hammered out 50,000 words of a book based on one of his script pitches.
Satan's School For Girls (yes, yes, I know) is a twisted mix of genres crashing together in new and ugly ways. I've taken themes as different as the St. Trinian's films, the girl's comic Misty and the nunsploitation (NSFW link) work of directors such as Jess Franco and Walerian Borowczyk to create a heady brew of horror and weirdness in the far northern reaches of Scotland.
The first draft should be completed by the end of next week, with a polish soon after. The final product should be ready for the new year. Who knows, the first imprint of the Sick Puppy Press?
