The creative team behind 30 Days of Night, Wizard magazine's "breakout hit of 2002," launch a new series of occult detective stories featuring the monstrously hard-boiled Cal McDonald. A pill-popping alcoholic reprobate, Cal is the only line of defense between Los Angeles and a growing horde of zombies, vampires, and werewolves. The best-selling comics series is collected in this massive graphic novel, including the hard-to-find short from last Halloween's Drawing on Your Nightmares special issue, and a new cover by Templesmith.

• Steve Niles is the writer of the hit comic 30 Days of Night and the Cal McDonald horror/noir novels, Savage Membrane and Guns, Drugs and Monsters.
  
  
• MGM has picked up the film rights to Steve Niles' and Ben Teplesmith's comic book miniseries Criminal Macabre through Dark Horse Entertainment!
