Following the success of the 1996 illustrated novel Hellboy: The Lost Army, Dark Horse commissioned writer Christopher Golden to gather some of the brightest creative lights in horror and mystery fiction—Brian Hodge, Poppy Z. Brite, Nancy A. Collins, Greg Rucka, Chet Williamson, legendary horror/humor cartoonist Gahan Wilson, and many more—to produce a prose anthology of Hellboy short stories, presenting original tales of the world's—and Hell's—greatest paranormal investigator. Illustrated by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola.
