H.D. Carlton’s bestselling dark romance novel “Haunting Adeline” is being adapted into an adult comic-book series and later collected graphic novels, with releases planned from early 2027. The project expands the book into an official sequential-art format for adult readers and collectors, while arriving amid criticism of a separate planned film adaptation.

Deviant Ink Publishing is developing and publishing the adaptation, while Blackstone Publishing will distribute it to comic shops and bookstores. The story follows author Adeline Reilly, who inherits her grandmother’s gothic mansion and becomes entangled with a stalker; its stalker-romance and sexual themes have prompted debate among BookTok readers over whether the material should be adapted for film.
