Hellboy: An Assortment of Horrors

Good little collection of short stories. However I would have like to have seen some more art work. I know it's not a graphic novel, but a few more drawings here and there would have been fun.

Short stories featuring Hellboy as both character and protagonist, in different situations, written by different authors. I enjoyed all of the stories, and the fact that they're about Hellboy lets the authors cut loose with lots of imagination.

Fun and true-to-the-character short stories from a variety of horror and suspense writers. New artwork by Mike Mignola is terrific too.

Loved it! I cannot wait for another collection!!

A well written collection of Hellboy stories by a collection of various authors. A must read! I definitely recommend it!

I like this series

There are several Hellboy stories with sundry themes. Most of them are good.

I would have been somewhat satisfied with one good story. But every single one was absolutely turgidly dreadful. Pro tip: people do not buy Hellboy to read maudlin stories raising awareness of child abuse, or domestic abuse, (two different after school special stories), or listen to whining and crying because the presidential election did not go the way the "writers" had hoped (four different stories had tears about that). The hive mind at work, apparently. There was a navel-gazing story about Hellboy that went nowhere, and not one, but two about Elizabeth(both when she was a kid,to make sure there was nothing interesting) that did not even feature Hellboy. And one story about evil white separatists. Oh, white Christian separatists who are also demon-worshippers. Talk about unintentionally funny. Seriously. That's how utterly bereft of ideas these clown-babies are. It was like reading freshman essays from Comp and Rhetoric 101, except with less imagination and more tears about Trump. The vocabulary was on a 6th grade level, but I suppose they could be writing to their audience. Although I'm pretty certain these"writers" are not heirs of Lovecraft or Howard; they scribble strictly for Seventeen Magazine, and apparently comic books, according to their sad little bios. Every one of these turgid, low-energy, pointless "chocolates"(the editor introduces them with the hoary Gumpian shibboleth about a "box of", because that's what every other unimaginative hack does). I've never bothered to review anything on here before, but this book was just so stupid I actually felt a moral obligation to warn others from it.

Only bought this because of the Laird Barron`s "Of Boys and Two Headed Dogs" , which for me is the stand-out story, but there are some other great shorts in this collection. Honourable mentions to "The Hellboyness of Hellboy" by Chris Priestley, "One More Radical Stone Fox" by Chelsea Cain and "Versteckdt" by Kelan Patrick Burke.

Fantastic selection of short, Hellboy centric, stories. Often these things can be a bit hit and miss, but for me there was only one that was a bit iffy...i'll let you decide which one. Recommended!

book. i like it!

Like every anthology or collection, there are some stinkers and some stand out stories. I'm s big fan of Hellboy. Reading these short stories was like visiting with an old friend.

Everything with Hellboy improves!
