During their panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2011, Blizzard senior VP of story and franchise development Chris Metzen announced that the company is putting together a new book that details the full lore of the Diablo series.

The book, set for release alongside Diablo III, will be written from the angle of being the journal of Diablo character Deckard Cain. This fictional journal will include “an extensive rundown of lore and history for the Diablo franchise, ranging from class descriptions to notable people.”
