May 25, 2008 (Anime News Network) -- Dark Horse Comics is planning to bring Hideyuki Kikuchi, the author of the Vampire Hunter D novels and several dozen other books, to September 26-28's New York Anime Festival.

Novel translator Kevin Leahy will also attend the New York City convention with Kikuchi. Dark Horse editor Carl Horn revealed the plans at a FanimeCon panel in California on Saturday. In addition to Vampire Hunter D, Kikuchi wrote the novel inspirations for Demon City Shinjuku, Wicked City, and A Wind Named Amnesia anime. Even more of his novels have been adapted into manga also.

New York Anime Festival programming manager Peter Tatara called Vampire Hunter D "one of anime's most iconic characters and a story that brought a generation into fandom." Kikuchi and Vampire Hunter D manga artist Saiko Takaki are also planning to attend Anime Expo in Los Angeles in July, courtesy of Digital Manga Publishing.

My darling

You are tired, its physical it the age.

Go see a shrink or take a pill,

or hug your sadness like an eyeless doll,

you need to sleep.

The Vigil.....a tragic love story

I have yearned for tonight for so long,
In nights dark cloak I wait.
How can what we want be wrong?
When all we feel is love not hate.

Here within the stable block,
I nestled in the hay.
Whilst listening for the churchyard clock,
To chime the hours away.

I felt not fearful of the night,
Or anything within.
For he had given me clearer sight,
Of nature and her kin.

Though he was only a humble man,
And I a highborn lady.
We loved as no two others can,
For that was our sweet destiny.
