Little Brown Books for Young Readers announced that "Who Could That Be At This Hour?" will be released in October 2012, despite against the wishes of the author on the new Lemony Snicket series.

The new release is the first book of the four volume "All the Wrong Questions" series.

Little Brown also shared with reporters an email from Snicket, the pen name of author Daniel Handler, which asked the publisher to postpone the announcement.
