Brian Hodge Books Overview

World of Hurt

From the author of HELLBOY: ON EARTH AS IT IS ON HELL and WILD HORSES comes World of Hurt, another masterwork that transcends the horror genre…
. Nearly half his life ago, Andrei spent 38 minutes as a corpse. It’s not a secret that he shares with many people. Especially these last six years, ever since the comforting lie of tunnels and white lights crumbled away to leave him with the memory of what he really found on the other side of death not Hell, but something worse: a Heaven unlike anything he’d ever been taught to expect. Now, as Heaven seeks to reclaim him, Andrei awakens to the hidden truths of this world and the next, caught between two unequal sides waging a clandestine war for the soul of the world, in which everything he’s ever taken for granted about good and evil has just been turned upside down. When death is no escape, what do you do? Andrei has a fierce need to know, as the clock runs out on the most excruciating moral choice of his life.

Leaving behind a trail of broken bodies and broken laws, they re all following Allison. And she s following a devious plan of her own…
. From the Paperback edition.

Lies & Ugliness

‘Lies and Ugliness proves to be a bravura performance by a true virtuoso.’ Faren Miller, Locus ‘Brian Hodge has long been a favorite of horror insiders, both for his audacious themes and his impressive facility with language. In such Hodge novels as ‘Deathgrip,’ ‘Nightlife,’ ‘The Darker Saints,’ and ‘Prototype,’ and in his widely anthologized short stories, you can hear the music in Hodge’s prose, a kind of euphony that, at its best, is reminiscent of Brite, Koja, Gaiman, or even Roger Zelazny while remaining, ultimately, unique.’ Thomas Roche Contents: Madame Babylon The 121st Day of Sodom Empathy Cancer Causes Rats Some Other Me Nesting Instincts original Before the Last Snowflake Falls An Autumnal Equinox Folly Confession Cenotaph Far Flew the Boast of Him Now Day Was Fled As the Worm Had Wished Pages Stuck By a Bowie Knife to a Cheyenne Gallows Driving the Last Spike Little Holocausts Dead Giveaway Past Tense Our Lady of Sloth and Scarlet Ivy original The Last Testament The Alchemy of the Throat Come Unto Me, All Ye Heavy Laden From the Gutters of Civilization to Your Discerning Eye story notes

Mad Dogs

From Brian Hodge, the author of the highly acclaimed Wild Horses, comes his long awaited second crime novel, which once again finds him careening at whiplash speeds between black humor and the pounding heart of darkness. Actor Jamey Sheppard may not be starving, but he’s definitely struggling. His career has been one piddling role after another with names like Radical Dude 3. Still, as he’s road tripping from Los Angeles to Arizona to reunite with his fianc e for their wedding, the future looks brighter than gold. Until a liquid lunch deputy turns the best day in his life into the worst. But Jamey’s no criminal. He’s only played one on TV. From the moment he’s mistaken for Duncan MacGregor, the real life renegade he’s just portrayed in a re enactment segment on American Fugitives, Jamey’s life can never be the same. And so begins his sun scorched odyssey through overnight media saturation celebrity and the national fascination with outlaws. In his hideaway, Duncan MacGregor is watching, too. And he just has to meet the guy who relived his own worst moment in front of a nationwide audience. Within days, in a twist that even American Fugitives couldn’t have seen coming, their fates are intertwined, as they ricochet down a road filled with the world’s dumbest bounty hunters, Hollywood deal makers and wannabes, cops on both sides of the law, a metal plated ex con with a prehistoric outlook on life, an impromptu right wing death squad, a merciless Jay Leno, and the most dangerous people of all when it comes to grudges and vengeance:Family. Staying on the run could be the best career move Jamey’s ever made if he can just live long enough to sign on the dotted line.

The Lost Army (By:Christopher Golden,Mike Mignola)

The hero: Forty years after being rescued from Axis powers at the end of World War II, he’s a top field agent for the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Development. He questions the unknown, then beats it into submission. And he’s a blood red, cloven hoofed demon with a tail and stone right hand named Hellboy.

The girl: Dr. Anastasia Bransfield is the old flame from Hellboy’s past. Beautiful and tough, Anastasia wishes they could reunite under better circumstances. But she needs his raw power and knowledge of the unknown to help her search team solve…

The mystery: Around 525 B.C., a fifty thousand strong Persian army, while crossing the conquered Egyptian desert, inexplicably vanished from the face of the earth. Two millennia later, amid mounting hostilities between Libya and joint allied forces, a group of British archaeologists has met that same fate, disappearing without a trace along the edge of the Great Sand Sea.

The evil: From the mythical oasis of Ammon, the dead utter a warning to Hellboy, Anastasia and their companions: leave now or die. And be careful of the spiders. Hellboy has no recourse but to dig deeper, below the hot sands of the Sahara. As usual, what he finds is worse than even the world’s greatest paranormal agent could bargain for an immortal sorcerer named Hazred, who sees Hellboy as the instrument to summon back an even greater evil banished from our world eons before. And any who stand against him will fall before the undead legions of The Lost Army.

Chris Golden, author of the popular Hellboy: The Lost Army novel, makes his return to the character, in a novel illustrated by Mike Mignola, award winning creator of Hellboy, and production designer of Disney’s summer blockbuster, Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

On Earth As It Is In Hell

Fifty years ago, a blood red, cloven hoofed demon was conjured up by Axis powers at the end of World War II, but adopted by the United States government, which gave him the name Hellboy and raised him in secrecy. Today, Hellboy is a top field agent for the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense. He questions the unknown then beats it into submission. His latest case: Angels have attacked the Vatican, destroying an entire floor of the building’s precious library. That’s a new one, even for the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense. The BPRD dispatches Hellboy and his amphibious colleague, Abe Sapien, to investigate. When they arrive on the scene, they discover that thousands of documents from all eras of history have been destroyed except for one, saved from the holy fire by an obsessive scholar. His prize? An ancient scroll allegedly written by Jesus the Nazarene decades after the crucifixion. Hellboy’s first thought is that the scroll was the focus of the seraphim’s attack but why would heavenly creatures undertake such violence and ruin? The answer to this puzzle will lead Hellboy down a terrifying trail to ancient gods, vengeful demons, and a hidden world made of the purest evil…
