New folklore-inspired tales abound in this anthology of eight fantasy stories written and drawn Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, featuring a bonus sketchbook section.

Mignola builds a brand-new world filled with the weird, wicked and whimsical in this volume that will delight longtime Hellboy fans and new readers alike.
"This is a world I’m terrified to live in, mostly because I know I’d never want to leave.”—Patton Oswalt (Minor Threats)

“I wish I could write a love letter to this dark enchantment of a book, whose pages are filled with all that I adore most: the human and the supernatural, colliding in tales of wisdom, humor, and quiet longing — as well as the most sumptuous art that a heart could hope to feast on.”—Marjorie Liu (Monstress)

“Gorgeous and mysterious art. Fantastic and funny storytelling. Delightfully dark and whimsical. Mignola has done it again. Behold the glorious glory in this magical book of tales!!!”—Jorge R. Gutierrez (The Book of Life)
