We’ve been following Kaitlín R. Kiernan’s highly anticipated new series Alabater: Wolves quite extensively here on BD, and we must say that we are quite stoked about this new book. Lucky for you, Dark Horse announced that a mini Alabaster story will be included as part Free Comic Book Day in an effort to hype the series even more. Look for both Star Wars/Serenity and Buffy/The Guild which will both feature part of the Alabaster: Shelter mini story on May 5th! Check out our interview with Kaitlin right here.

In the “comic-verse,” Caitlìn R. Kiernan is probably most notably known for her work at DC/Vertigo Comics. There, she penned The Dreaming (a spin-off of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman), The Girl Who Would Be Death, and Bast: Eternity Game, as well as contributing to various other titles and story arcs. Although she has done quite a bit of work in comics, she has received high praise for her novels and short stories from names such as Clive Barker, Peter Straub, Neil Gaiman, and Poppy Z. Brite.

Now, Kiernan is working on a new series published by Dark Horse Comics, called Alabaster: Wolves. Wolves focuses on Dancy Flammarion, who was once guided by a mystical force to fight and kill various dark creatures, and must now find her own way in the swamps of the deep south, with the cursed monsters still in hot pursuit. Kiernan sat down with us to talk about Alabaster: Wolves, and gave us a peek into what we can expect to see. Read on for the skinny…

Dark Horse made quite the splash last week, announcing the debut of Caitlín R. Kiernan’s adaptation/re-imagination of her Dancy Flammarion stories, Alabaster: Wolves. The series is a dark fantasy centered around the epic quests of Darcy, a morose 17-year-old girl with a keen sense for battling demons and darkness. Caitlín R. Kiernan is well known for her incredible work in the realm of dark fantasy literature, and combined with Steve Lieber, this is a sure-shot winner. The fine folks at Dark Horse have given BD an exclusive look at the cover art for issue #2. Alabaster will makes it’s debut in Dark Horse Presents on February 22nd. Read on for the skinny…
