PRESS RELEASE: Dabel Brothers to Adapt Two Novels from Sherrilyn Kenyon's Bestselling Dark-Hunter series
ATLANTA, GA—August 4, 2008: Dabel Brothers Publishing is proud to announce the manga-style adaptations of two Dark-Hunter novels by the #1 best-selling author Sherrilyn Kenyon, to be released in 2009.
The novels, “Night Pleasures” and “Night Embrace”, are the first and second books in Kenyon's blockbuster series, The Dark-Hunters. The series is about eternally damned warriors who have sold their souls for vengeance and who now protect mankind from the evil that preys on them.
Kenyon's work has a worldwide following, with sales of more than fourteen million books in twenty-nine countries.
The story will be adapted by writer Joshua Hale Fialkov, known for his unique storytelling style on titles like Cyblade and the upcoming Afro Samurai Manga. Claudia Campos, already a favorite with Kenyon's fans for her knockout illustrations in The Dark-Hunter Companion, will again provide the art. Production services are being provided by Glass House Graphics.
Dabel Brothers will be working in partnership with St. Martin's Press, the publisher of Kenyon's novel, who will serve as publisher for these anticipated adaptations.
“This is a very exciting opportunity for Dabel Brothers Publishing,” says Dabel Brothers President Ernst Dabel, “It's a chance to create the kind of visual adventure that we do best while connecting with Sherrilyn's millions of fans throughout the world. Our goal is to create something special that will be warmly embraced by fans old and new alike.”

I tried to read one of Kenyon's books once and couldn't make it through the first chapter. I hope this is better.
Theresa, yeah I've never read anything by the author before, but I'll probably check this out :)
