There are several '''Diablo novels''' released, giving further depth to the Diablo universe. Up until [[WWI 2008]], these novels had no connection at all with the actual games, but Diablo III seems to be the first of the games with information from the books actually put in the game.
Additional novels are planned for release after Diablo III, all written by [[Richard Knaak]]. [http://www.blizzplanet.com/blog/comments/diablo_the_sin_war_trilogy___public_qa_with_richard_a_knaak]

They were a collaboration between [[Chris Metzen]] and their author, 2007[[Richard Knaak]].[http://www.blizzplanet.com/blog/comments/diablo_the_sin_war_trilogy___public_qa_with_richard_a_knaak] ::''How much of the book is creation of yours, and how involved is Chris Metzen behind the canon storyline of Diablo: The Sin War Trilogy? Do you think the ramifications of this book impact in the storyline of Diablo 3 the game? ::'''Knaak:''' This is a pure collaboration between myself and Chris Metzen/Blizzard. All that is written is passed by him and the others there. This will be canon and has adjusted earlier info. The ramifications here will be used for any future project … and I ain’t writing for a dead game. smile Blizzard has not confirmed that we will see additional novels released after Diablo III, 2007)though it seems a fairly safe bet.
One issue of a stand-alone Diablo comic was published in 2001. The stories were not connected to the larger game plot, instead serving to flesh out the world of Sanctuary in non-essential fashion.
