Here the book description:
Unravel the mysteries of Ravenloft® in this dread adventure for
the world’s greatest roleplaying game
Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind’s howling increases as he turns his gaze down toward the village of Barovia. Far below, yet not beyond his keen eyesight, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd’s face forms the barest hint of a smile as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they came — all according to his plan. A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. The master of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner. And you are invited.
Heroes from the Forgotten Realms and other D&D worlds can easily be drawn into Strahd’s cursed land. Once there, they must contend with the horrors of Barovia. Its people are melancholy, misshapen and grotesque, living in fear of the wolves and other creatures that serve Strahd’s evil will.
Written by Chris Perkins, Tracy Hickman, and Laura Hickman, edited by Kim Mohan and Jeremy Crawford, and art directed by Kate Irwin.

@JeremyECrawford hey! Was this the culmination of the project that Lucca’s sessions were a part of? 🎃

The #DnD adventures I did for @LuccaCandG occur 200 years after Curse of Strahd. It includes bits related to them. https://t.co/MeSPdA8zCg

@JeremyECrawford @JimZub Any chance of Ravenloft getting a setting treatment? Or is this going to be a standalone that I’m still buying ;)?
— Peter (@Peter_Smyk) January 18, 2016
Curse of Strahd focuses on the lands of Barovia, a #DnD mini-setting filled with gothic towns, NPCs, and tales. https://t.co/SYwzlVmIVK

Hmm, I distinctly remember an interview in which someone mentioned a homebrew expanded Barovia world. Who was that? https://t.co/G8VY7RBckV
— Friar Tuk (@ahbleecker) January 18, 2016
My homebrew #DnD setting—going back to 1E—is the world that Barovia came from. Dashes of it are in Curse of Strahd. https://t.co/wvDLpADgQJ

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Thanks!

@ChrisPerkinsDnD @SlyFlourish @Morrus Is Barovia still in the Demi-plane or is it back in the material plane in FR somehow?

Barovia remains where it has always been. https://t.co/oa1IJ1q3nY
