Supernatural private eye Cal McDonald thinks he's seen it all, at least until a couple of rampaging rednecks bust through his door hootin' about demonic possessions. Thus begins Cal's most spine-chilling (and side-splitting) case yet, as these Beverly Hellbillies take him down a trail of terror into the heart of a Southern California backwater brimming with monsters and mullets. Can Cal and his living-dead partner Mo'Lock save an entire town from the nastiest spirit this side of the river Styx? Will Cal's girlfriend Sabrina forgive him for forgetting Valentine's Day before they're overcome by a demonic horde? And just how did little Billy Ray end up with a portal to Hell in his bedroom? All will be revealed in this collection courtesy of über-scribe Steve Niles and fantastically frightful art-meister Kelley Jones. Collecting the four-issue miniseries. Softcover, 120 pages, full color. Cover price $14.95.

Volume 3 - 1st printing. "Supernatural Freak Machine!" Written by STEVE NILES. Art by Kelley Jones. Escaped mad doctors and possessed muscle cars are all in a day's work for supernatural investigator Cal McDonald and his undead sidekick Mo'Lock. When an old enemy Cal sent to prison escapes, his sights are set on exacting cold revenge on the guy who put him there. And it looks like he'll have to cut through everyone Cal loves to get to him...perfect! Cal knows what he's up against, and he's hardly batting an eye. He's already put this guy away once, and it's not like prison makes people bitter, right? And besides--things are looking up. He's even got a new car to brag about--a spiffy 1973 Nova. Too bad the guy who died in the car before Cal bought it has no intention of leaving! * Steve Niles is a bona fide star in the world of horror comics, and he's taking a bite out of Hollywood, too. Production on the film adaptation of his hit comic-book 30 Days of Night started in New Zealand in summer 2006! Softcover, 120 pages, full color. Cover price $17.95.

Volume 5 - 1st printing. "My Demon Baby!" Collects Criminal Macabre: My Demon Baby (2007) #1-4. Written by STEVE NILES. Art by NICK STAKAL. Cover by TIM BRADSTREET. 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 worshippers 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? From the creator of 2007's biggest box office horror buzz, 30 Days of Night! Softcover, 104 pages, full color. Cover price $12.95.

Cal McDonald faces his greatest challenge yet-hard time! Framed in the death of a cop, Cal finds himself at the mercy of a sadistic and corrupt police force. But now, in some of the bleakest moments of his life, the things that make him different from the rest of the world might be the only things capable of keeping his sorry butt out of deeper trouble. Because it turns out that the things that would make most people want to give up and die-the strange, inhuman voices coming from adjacent cells, the mysterious visitors, the unlikely saviors in demonic disguise-are the things that have kept Cal alive long enough to see a way out. And just when Cal begins to unravel the conspiracy behind his own downfall, he uncovers a nightmare world of murder and corruption at the prison that has dozens of former prisoners turning in their graves . . . and clawing their way out! Criminal Macabre: Cell Block 666 is the latest horror tale from Steve Niles, the creator of 30 Days of Night! Softcover, 104 pages, full color. Cover price $12.95.
