      When Lord Henry Baltimore awakens the wrath of a vampire on the hellish battlefields of World War I, the world is forever changed. For a virulent plague has been unleashed—a plague that even death cannot end. Now the lone soldier in an eternal struggle against darkness, Baltimore summons three old friends to a lonely inn—men whose travels and fantastical experiences incline them to fully believe in the evil that is devouring the soul of mankind. As the men await their old friend, they share their tales of terror and misadventure, and contemplate what part they will play in Baltimore’s timeless battle. Before the night is through, they will learn what is required to banish the plague—and the creature who named Baltimore his nemesis—once and for all. Written by Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden, with illustrations by Mignola.

    • All Hell is Breaking Loose!Led by the fanatical Il Maestro, the Sons of Entropy are assaulting the supernatural Boston mansion that holds back the realm of monsters, and stealing the life force from the besieged Gatekeeper. In limbo, the Ghost Roads are crumbling, becoming weak and unstable where Hell and the Otherworld have begun seeping in, blurring the passages that lead to the human world. And Xander lies mortally wounded from a failed attempt to free Joyce Summers from the clutches of the zealots who hold her hostage. With the Gatekeeper rapidly weakening, Buffy sends Willow and Cordelia to escort Xander along the Ghost Roads to the Gatehouse, which may hold his only hope of survival. Meanwhile, she, Giles, and an unlikely band of allies take their fight to the very mouth of Hell itself, desperately hoping to save Joyce and repel the evil spawn before Sunnydale becomes a demonic ground zero. Only then can Buffy safeguard the Gatekeeper's eleven-year-old heir, the only one able to prevent the ultimate destruction of humanity.

    • In a single moment of bad judgement, Buffy finds herself catapulted into an alternate future dimension, where evil triumphs and vampires rule supreme. She discovers that her friends have rallied to fight a rearguard action against the new order - but they are very different from the friends she thought she knew. Willow is a fully-fledged sorceress, Xander a battle-scarred, humourless veteran and Oz a frightening split personality. But that's not the worst of it. Her enemies are different too. That in itself is no surprise, but Buffy is horrified to learn that even the vicious Spike is merely a minion, chief lackey to the bloodsuckers' overlord, serving none other than Giles the Vampire King. Buffy must face and conquer the dark spectre of her erstwhile mentor, while her friends back in her own time struggle to bring her disembodied spirit home. Imprisoned in the body of her 24-year-old self, Buffy's only hope is to uncover her past misstep and make it right...
