Criminal Macabre introduces us to Cal McDonald, a hard-drinking, drug-using detective with a ghoul sidekick by the name of Mo’lock. McDonald has to uncover who is behind a plot to turn the usual Vampires and Werewolves of Los Angles into super monsters. I wanted to check out more of Niles/Templesmith’s work after reading 30 Days of Night and ran into their Cal McDonald series. Niles and Templesmith have created a fantastic character in Cal McDonald who takes on dealing with the supernatural bad guys that the rest of society doesn’t believe exists. A recommended read.
