“Chapter One: Strange Gatherings”

From the creative team behind 30 Days of Night, Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith launch Criminal Macabre: A Cal McDonald Mystery — a hardboiled horror series from Dark Horse that opens with "Chapter One: Strange Gatherings." The cover, painted by Templesmith in his trademark murky, atmospheric style, presents a blood-soaked man gripping a shotgun and cigarette with grim determination, while a glowing-eyed ghoulish figure in a suit looms ominously behind him. It's a striking introduction to what promises to be a dark, noir-tinged world where the supernatural and the criminal collide.
