Story & Creative Vision

This standalone tale is a perfect entry point for new readers and a deep dive into Cal’s fractured psyche for longtime fans.

• The Narrative: Supernatural detective Cal McDonald is no stranger to the monsters hiding in the shadows of Los Angeles. However, a new case involving a demonic spirit forces Cal to confront a horror that he can't simply drink away. It is a story of ghosts, guts, and the heavy price of being the only one who can see the truth.

• Mignola-esque Horror: Steve Niles continues to prove why he is a master of the genre, blending hardboiled dialogue with genuine terror.

• Atmospheric Art: Szymon Kudranski’s art is a revelation here. His mastery of shadow and realistic, yet distorted, figure work creates a sense of unease that lingers on every page.
