The Omen book series novelizes and continues the 1976-1981 horror film franchise about Damien Thorn, the secretly substituted child revealed to be the Antichrist. David Seltzer's tie-in novel adapted the original film, and Joseph Howard and Gordon McGill carried the story forward across further volumes (Damien: Omen II, The Final Conflict, and later original sequels), following Damien's rise to power and the escalating attempts to stop him.
