"Twenty-four years ago, Hellboy took mild-mannered Professor O'Donnell to the secret library of a recently dead necromancer. Since that day, O'Donnell has been the Bureau's expert on the powerful ancient forces intent on ending the age of man. Find out what O'Donnell saw in this supernatural thrill ride. From the pages of _Hellboy_. ""_B.P.R.D._ continues to be a solidly crafted horror/adventure serial with many surprises to keep its readers guessing.""Broken Frontier **It's all going to Hell in 2012!**"
The story itself is a throwback to the older Hellboy, the spookier Lovecraft-inspired Hellboy of days gone by, with haunted mansions, cults and necromancers in plenty. The narrative flows smoothly and with practised ease and the artwork is of course top-notch, as one would expect in a BPRD book. It leaves you with a sense of haunting. Something missing from most of the comics out there that like to stake claim to the horror genre. A nice, short, eerie comic book. My only gripe with it: it could have been a little longer. Twenty-five pages flew by too fast. A recommended read for everyone. Read Full Review

I’m sure that long time readers of Hellboy and B.P.R.D. will enjoy this one-shot, but I really think that anyone can pick up this issue and find something to enjoy. I won’t pretend to know a lot about the universe’s history, but I was able to follow along just fine with the story and past characters mentioned. That’s the charm of this franchise is that you can always jump on at any given moment and as long as you don’t focus on it like it’s #93 in a series (which it is) you’ll be fine. Read Full Review
