Synopsis

In Cancun, Mexico, police investigate a slaughter at a wedding ceremony. In Dublin, Ireland, the clientele of a backstreet pub are found dead. In Kyoto, Japan, the bullet train pulls into the station with blood-spattered windows. It is the time of the Black Sun. Across the world, the wolves are calling to each other. Locked in bodies that had no idea they were there, they rise from the depths of the unconscious and turn towards America... For Hellboy, it's a race against time to prevent a devastating wave of primal savagery washing across the land. And so he is drawn to Boston's Beacon Hill and the Grant Mansion, believed to be the most haunted house in New England, where the truth may lie buried.

In fact, trying to fit Hellboy into it was a distraction that detracted from the overall effect; the role he played could have been better served by any generic wise-cracking......more

Goodreads review by Joe on April 02, 2024

This was a bummer. I worked my way through all the Hellboy novels, and this was not a satisfying way to end that journey. I have made this observation on an early Hellboy book review, but it feels like the author had an idea for a supernatural story, and used Hellboy to tell it. Very little would ch......more
