If you’re like me, you enjoy vampires. But if you are like me, you also hate how mainstream they’ve gotten, turning them into doe-eyed weaklings rather than the horrific creatures of the night they used to be. Well never fear! Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden along with Ben Steinbeck and Dave Stewart are doing their best to return the blood drinking denizens of fiction to their original terrifying and murderous selves with Baltimore: The Plague Ships!

Praise for Baltimore or The Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire:
“Mythic adventure, midway between Lovecraft and the Brothers Grimm. The book burns with black inspiration.” –Sci Fi Magazine
“Outstanding, gorgeously told and wildly inventive. Mike Mignola’s outstanding black-and-white illustrations turn the book into a beautiful object and add to its overall storybook quality. He and Golden have outdone themselves with Baltimore, a gorgeous, haunting tale that may well become a classic.” -Fangoria
