STARRED REVIEW: * Baltimore: Or, The Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire.

Mignola, Mike (Author) and Golden, Christopher (Author)


Lord Henry Baltimore lies wounded in no-man’s-land on World War I’s western front. As the carrion eaters come to feast, the injured soldier sees an impossibility—the dead eating the dead. But the ravening monstrosity comes to him, further mangles his wounded leg, and claims Lord Henry as his enemy. Lord Henry realizes that a virulent plague that only he now knows about is hiding among the other plagues of the time. The vampire—for that is what the battlefield monster is—destroys his family, but Baltimore maintains steadfast pursuit of it. He summons three friends also experienced with the supernatural to await him at an old inn. They tell one another of their first meetings with Lord Henry, thereby disclosing what the vampire has inflicted on the peer since the incident on the western front. Lord Henry arrives with what is necessary to finally banish the vampiric plague. Even after a fight to near death, some damage cannot be healed. Prolific dark fantasist Golden’s popular style is impeccable, and horror comics creator Mignola’s copious illustrations confirm the tale’s dark atmosphere throughout, from no-man’s-land to the old inn to the houses and graveyards where the vampire is encountered. A new classic of vampire literature.
