Baltimore, Vol. 1: The Plague Ships by Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden
5.0

Mike Mignola's Lord Baltimore is not part of the BPRD universe, but it's a fitting companion to that epic series. Set in the aftermath of a Great War brought to an end by a devastating plague which presages an onslought of supernatural horrors across Europe, Lord Baltimore is a haunted and driven hunter who seeks the vampire that destroyed his life and his family. Bleak, brutal and tragic, the Baltimore books are dark and brilliant alt-world horror with a touch of steampunk and Lovecraft.
