Mr. Higgins was just the beginning! Follow Professor J.T. Meinhardt and Mr. Knox as they continue their pursuit of ne'er-do-well creatures of the night! Backed by the dauntless vampire hunter Ms. Mary Van Sloan, the heroes of Mr. Higgins Comes Home pursue vampires, werewolves, and other horrors that even they are hard-put to name or explain. The only thing that's for certain is that the strange truths these adventurers uncover are seldom what they seem. From the horror-genius minds of Mike Mignola and Warwick Johnson-Cadwell comes the next installment of endearingly terrifying tales from Meinhardt, Knox, and Van Sloan. Set against the detailed and stylized background of Johnson-Cadwell's art, these stories are a striking continuation of daring occult adventure! Grab some garlic and silver bullets, and settle in for a thrilling read!

      Author and illustrator Johnson-Cadwell presents a collection of three short tales featuring the further adventures of characters created by Mignola (Hellboy; B.P.R.D.: 1956) for the pair's 2017 collaboration, Mr. Higgins Comes Home. In the opening story, the titular monster hunters, aided by their enigmatic ally Madam Van Sloan, pursue a legendarily vicious vampire through a forest filled with cutthroats and scoundrels and eventually stumble into a town populated by vampires hiding a startling secret. Next, their investigation into a series of savage animal attacks leads them to a group of bat/human hybrids with an origin story only slightly less bizarre than the concluding twist. The final and best tale explores a cultured werewolf's process of turning the tables on the monster hunters by carefully luring them into a deadly trap and ends on a deeply poignant note. VERDICT Johnson-Cadwell shares Mignola's taste for stories-within-stories, gruesome mythologies, and a reminiscent, though less refined, illustration style, resulting in a work that is satisfyingly horrific but refreshingly imaginative and playful.
