Grim Death & Bill the Electrocuted Criminal

[middenway]

An upcoming novel by Mike Mignola and Thomas E. Sniegoski. It was mentioned in Sniegoski's biography at the end of The Raven's Child. Mignola also talks about it in this podcast from 58:20.

That's certainly an interesting title.

That's certainly an interesting title.

But, for some reason, it makes me think of this:

It reminds me of the electric chair man from something wicked this way comes

Here's a clearer look at the cover:

Out very soon. I can't remember, is this illustrated?

Out very soon. I can't remember, is this illustrated?

It most certainly is. And Mike Mignola is doing something a little different with these ones...

[Joker]

Ah yes, I remember now. Thanks! Looking forward to it!

[Joker]

Out today. Was planning on picking it up but apparently no book store near me has it.

[topfueluhl]

I couldn't find it locally at any book store either, so I bought a digital copy for now. I just started reading, but I'm enjoying it so far.

[Joker]

It's odd. I wonder why no one has a copy in stock?

[batnbreakfast]

Why is that not from Dark Horse? Are the Hellboy novels Dark Horse (my copies are in storage)?

[Joker]

None of Mignola's (non Hellboy) illustrated novels are from DH. One would assume he has a publishing deal with St. Martins Press.

Looking, I see double listings for the Hellboy novels. Pocket Star Books, and Dark Horse Books. I can't answer what the deal is there.

Just curious. Thanks for the reply anyways, Clown Prince of Crime
