Steve Niles (Breath of Bones, 30 Days of Night) returns to his old haunt with a brand-new four-part miniseries: Criminal Macabre: The Third Child!
The Third Child, which directly follows Criminal Macabre: The Eyes of Frankenstein, will take readers into a dark place in a tale that only Steve Niles could tell, through Christopher Mitten’s fantastic artwork.
