Next year's list includes two graphic novels by Charlaine Harris, an adaptation of Grave Sight, and Cemetery Girl, an original title and beginning of a trilogy; two titles by Laurell K. Hamilton, The Lunatic Café, an adaptation of part of the Anita Blake series, and an original title; an adaptation of Martin Misunderstood by Karin Slaughter; and an original title, Starling, from Sage Stossel.
