Del Rey to publish the first of Karen Marie Moning’s Fever novels in graphic form

A press release from Lisa Barnes of Random House:
Rich in otherworldly creatures, action, and magic, Karen Marie Moning’s bestselling Fever series has long been ripe for translation into full-color graphic novel form. Fever Moon (Del Rey Hardcover; July 10, 2012) is the first graphic novel set within the Fever world—featuring an original story written by Moning, adapted by David Lawrence, and gorgeously illustrated by Al Rio and Cliff Richards.
In Shadowfever, MacKayla confronts an eerie, dangerous being that almost steals her voice and mind. Appearing as a tall, gaunt, faceless man nattily dressed in tailcoat and spats, he is called the Fear Dorcha—ageless, evil, and full of rage against humanity. When Mac meets him in Chester’s, she averts destruction only through the intervention of a dreamy-eyed bartender.
In Fever Moon, young sidhe-seer Dani is not so fortunate. Now, for the first time, Moning reveals what happened to Dani during her absence from the events of Shadowfever—and follows Mac and Barrons as they desperately search for an otherworldly killer wreaking havoc on the streets of Dublin.
