Enter the dark, smoke-filled world of Cal McDonald in Criminal Macabre: Spirit of the Demon. Written by the legendary Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) and featuring the haunting, expressive art of Szymon Kudranski (Spawn, Punisher), this oversized hardcover original graphic novel is a quintessential supernatural noir.

This copy is Brand New, offering a pristine experience for fans of gritty detective stories, occult horror, and the long-running Criminal Macabre mythos.

Story & Creative Vision

This standalone tale is a perfect entry point for new readers and a deep dive into Cal’s fractured psyche for longtime fans.

• The Narrative: Supernatural detective Cal McDonald is no stranger to the monsters hiding in the shadows of Los Angeles. However, a new case involving a demonic spirit forces Cal to confront a horror that he can't simply drink away. It is a story of ghosts, guts, and the heavy price of being the only one who can see the truth.

• Mignola-esque Horror: Steve Niles continues to prove why he is a master of the genre, blending hardboiled dialogue with genuine terror.

• Atmospheric Art: Szymon Kudranski’s art is a revelation here. His mastery of shadow and realistic, yet distorted, figure work creates a sense of unease that lingers on every page.
