Exclusive: Dark Horse to Release New Edition of ‘House of Night’
Back in 2012, Dark Horse published House of Night: Legacy, a graphic novel written by P.C. and Kristin Cast, set in the same world as their House of Night prose novels. The story takes place after the first volume, and it consists of the characters telling stories about vampyres (that’s how they spell it) taking the lead in various historical eras. Joelle Jones was the main artist, and I reviewed the book here when it first came out.
Now Dark Horse is bringing out a new edition, and we have an exclusive look at the new cover art by Joelle Jones:
The new edition also features a new foreword by Kristin Cast. The book is a group project, with Kent Dalian co-writing with the Casts and Karl Kerschl, Joshua Covey, Daniel Krall, Jonathan Case, and Eric Canete doing the art for the historical vignettes.
