I couldn’t wait to get into the office to post today’s featured horror book, Criminal Macabre: My Demon Baby, which you can get for just $9.99 (sale good today only). Collected in this TPB is one of Steve Niles’ funnest Cal McDonald romps.
To say that Cal’s been through hell and back would be a misstatement. He’s been to hell, all right, and he seems to be stuck there for good. When we last checked in on Cal, he and Mo’Lock had just witnessed the vile, horrifying transformation of Cal’s lovely ex, Sabrina Lynch, into a minion of the vampire Nosferatu.
After that Cal disappeared for a bit, and at the start of our new series, Mo’Lock finds him just in time to lure him off the filthy couch in an abandoned house with an offer he can’t refuse-either he gets up and takes a new case, or Mo’Lock will kill him before the drugs can. And what a case it is.
Devil worshipers in sunny SoCal are doing their best to bring Satan into the world, and by the looks of things, Cal’s already too late. What does one feed a bouncing baby Beelzebub, anyway?
A mixture of supernatural horror, noir-type investigations, undead foes and rampant drug use, Criminal Macabre is pretty cool title to fall into if you haven’t already discovered it.
