**Please note, the previously mentioned story with Acheron and an update on characters has been incorporated into the novel Styxx. House of the Rising Son is a Dark-Hunter story and one that explains much about  Styxx’s origins, and gives insight into it.

Also, those looking for Dragonswan or Fire and Ice (Adron’s story/League Series), those are in their own combined Kenyon anthology, In Other Worlds, which was published by Berkley. Dark Bites is published by St. Martin’s & Tor and has all of Sherrilyn’s  novellas that she published with them.

As for the reading order, DARK BITES is listed first because it contains all the short stories that have been published prior to 2014. These are some of the Dark-Hunter stories Sherri wrote and published from 1984-2013. So while they can be read alongside the books, they don’t have to be read in a particular order. However, for those who are sticklers about reading orders, please see the FULL READING ORDER list here to make sure you read them as they were brought out in book form.
