Grim Death and Bill the Electrocuted Criminal
Grim Death and Bill the Electrocuted Criminal, by Mike Mignola & Thomas E. Sniegoski. 261 pages.
Death was his mistress now, and a harsh one to boot.
I recently found this novel on the bargain shelf at Books-a-Million.
Bentley, as a child, was not a well. Desperate to cure him, his parents searched out far and wide for a cure. They found a “cure” but the experiment cost his parents their lives. Now Death has a job for Bentley to do. Taking on a mask that belonged to his father, he becomes Grim Death, and avenges the sprints of those who come to him for justice.
It was a fun, quick, pulpy read.
