exclusive, one-of-a-kind signed sketch from Buffy the Vampire Slayer artist Georges JeantyAs anticipation builds for P. C. and Kristin Cast's first House of Night comic, Dark Horse offers retailers one more reason to stock up in preparation for high demand!

With Joss Whedon fans flooding into comic shops again for copies of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 and Angel & Faith, this exciting new series from the New York Times best-selling mother-daughter duo couldn't come at a better time.

To celebrate, Dark Horse is offering any retailer who orders twenty-five or more copies of House of Night #1 a chance to win an exclusive, one-of-a-kind signed sketch from Buffy the Vampire Slayer artist Georges Jeanty! It's that simple. Order at least twenty-five copies and you are automatically entered to win!

"So, I know I'm supposed to say something mature and best-selling authorish here, but all I can think is, I get to be in a promo with Joss Whedon and Buffy! Oh boy! (Insert giant fangirl squeal of pleasure)," P. C. Cast relayed via e-mail. "Hopefully this means my boyfriend Spike will start paying proper attention to me. Wait! Can I get my own musical episode, too?? Yeah! P.S. I think y'all will like House of Night. Or at the very least I think Buffy would approve. Well, I mean, if you took out that whole vampire part."

Until recently, Zoey Redbird, the heroine of House of Night, was an average high-school student worrying about grades, boys, and breakouts. But priorities have a way of changing when you are Marked as a vampyre, enroll in the vampyre academy House of Night, and have to figure out a whole new social hierarchy, affinities for elemental magic, and physiological changes that make you crave blood.

In this series, taking place between scenes from Betrayed (the second book in the wildly popular House of Night series, which has sold millions of copies internationally), Zoey is in desperate need of guidance as she prepares to take over the elite student group known as the Dark Daughters. Surrounded by her group of devoted friends, Zoey turns to The Fledgling Handbook, a historical vampyre tome, in hopes of better understanding this big, new world of vampyrism.

The comic is cowritten by Kent Dalian, with art by Joëlle Jones (Troublemaker). House of Night is the second new title in Dark Horse's fall lineup, arriving in stores on November 9!
