Ghoul Goblin (Dresden Files Graphic Novel)

by Jim Butcher, Mark Powers, Joseph Cooper (Artist)

Overview

From the mind of best-selling author Jim Butcher, an ALL-NEW, COMPLETELY ORIGINAL Dresden Files story that pits Chicago's mystical detective against bloodthirsty rural monsters.
Harry Dresden, a Chicago private investigator and wizard, heads to a small, isolated Missouri town terrorized by Nevernever monsters. The singularly unfortunate Talbot family has suffered a curse that has decimated their number for generations, and only our hero can save them... that is, if he can survive hostile lawmen, the dark secrets of townsfolk, an ancient guardian spirit, and two deadly carnivores! Can Dresden cleanse the Talbot bloodline of its curse without a blood sacrifice of his own?

About the Author

A martial arts enthusiast whose résumé includes a long list of skills rendered obsolete at least two hundred years ago, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher turned to writing as a career because anything else probably would have driven him insane. He lives mostly inside his own head, so that he can write down the conversation of his imaginary friends, but his head can generally be found in Independence, Missouri.

Editorial Reviews

12/09/2013
This spinoff from Butcher’s popular Dresden Files series is just the right blend of magic, horror, and good old-fashioned monster butt kicking. Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden might be Chicago’s only wizard for hire, but this time he’s been drawn away from the Windy City to Boone Mill, Miss. There, he must face the deadly tandem of a ghoul and a goblin that have a bone to pick with the Talbots, a family plagued by a nasty curse. Dresden, with the help of a local policeman, Prescott Tremaine (aka “Pres”), is set on foiling their plans. Dresden’s use of arcane magic in a contemporary setting and his interaction with the characters of a realm called the Nevernever give Ghoul Goblin some spice. Cooper’s clean but lively penciling and the color work by Mohan serve as a visual anchor for the narrative, and allow readers to connect with Dresden, his cool powers, and even some of the strange creatures and forces in the story.
