Aha, ok, finally, fresh material. The books have finally gone past whatever the movies covered and this is all new to me. Yes. Actually Mike Mignola mixes things up with this third volume in the series. This one comprises a number of short stories, featuring some famous past cases of the great red one. A lot of these were inspired by traditional mythology and folk tales and you get a nice range of traditional horrific concepts like weres and changelings and ghosts, but all done with Mignola’s inimitable skill and talent. Plus you get a terrific origin story. And even a Christmas story. A year round fun for everyone.
Three for three so far, I’m loving every one of these books, although all three might have been too much for one day. And to think there are so many left to go. Woohoo. Recommended.
