September 27, 2005 (Press Release) --
Tiverton, Ontario, Canada & Bayville, New Jersey, September, 28th, 2005 – Both the management at Open Book Press and the creators of their newest graphic novel, Cry Wolf, are exited over the overwhelming fan reaction to the book.
This 70 page graphic novel is being officially declared a sleeper hit. The book was written by Doug Crill, and illustrated by Daniel J. Frey, and is being scooped up by readers worldwide at book stores, and through online sources like Amazon.com, BookSurge, and the company’s own website at www.openbookpress.com.
The story is set in Chicago in the 1920’s and revolves around love, gangsters, and werewolves. It is illustrated in an old fashioned “woodcut” style very similar to the pulp comics of the time in which the story takes place. The book currently retails at $12.99 U.S. and plans are already in the works for a sequel.
“We believed the book would sell of course,” said Open Book Press Co-Publisher Mike Gagnon “We just weren’t prepared for the huge fan response that we did get, leaving even us overwhelmed.” Gagnon also stated that the book is now the highest seller in the Open Book Press line-up.
Response from fans regarding why they have taken to the book has ranged everywhere from a love of good werewolf stories, to the original artwork, to interest in good gangster and adventure stories.
You can currently find the graphic novel “Cry Wolf” by Doug Crill and Daniel J. Frey at BookSurge.com, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble stores, and more! Fans can also meet the creators of “Cry Wolf” and other members of the Open Book Press Stable from Sept. 30th- Oct. 2nd 2005 at Wizard World Boston located at the Bayside Expo Center in Boston.
