The Dark-Hunter series is a series of adult paranormal romance books by Sherrilyn Kenyon that encompasses several different series of hers (Dark-Hunters, Dream Hunters, Were-Hunters, Hellchasers, Lords of Avalon, Deadman's Cross, and Chronicles of Nick). It spans over fifty books, using a vast amount of characters and world-building of the fictional mythology Atlantean Pantheon and historically known Greek Mythology, Egyptian Mythology, Celtic Mythology, and Sumerian Mythology along with supernatural elements such as vampires (Dark-Hunters), wereanimals (Were-Hunters), and demons.

Fandom

Fanart is produced on deviantart, Tumblr, and fanpop. Fannish discussion originally appeared on LiveJournal before fandom migration moved on to other platforms such as Tumblr.

The character Simi is most commonly cosplayed. Fannish Dolls of the characters have appeared.
