13th Son: Worse Thing Waiting

by Kelley Jones

Born to a young woman driven to insanity and black magic by the deaths of her previous children, the 13th Son is a creature like nothing this world has seen before. Humans are not his target. It''s the other monsters who walk this world - the wendigo, werewolves, ghouls, zombies and vampires - who live in fear of his enormous and terrifying powers. And what those powers are setting into motion is a horror beyond your deepest, darkest nightmares.

Reviews

[Rob McMonigal · Rating 2 out of 5]

I generally love most of Kelley Jones' work, but this one missed the mark for me. The plot is too violence against women-y, it's not developed very strongly, the protagonist barely has anything go wrong, and worst of all, the monsters themselves feel generic.
