John Sinclair: Demon Hunter

1977 is a strange year. Things beyond human understanding have begun to surface, threatening the peace and leaving behind an endless trail of blood. When such incidents arise, it is down to Scotland Yard’s Special Division and their Demon Hunter in residence, John Sinclair, to set things right. But Sinclair is haunted by demons of his own, ones which rival the dark forces attacking innocents around him. Can he conquer one to vanquish the other?

John Sinclair’s life is many things, but boring is not one of them. When an archaeological expedition ends in a series of questionable deaths, Sinclair’s old friend Bill Conolly begins to investigate. If one set of deadly digs wasn’t enough, an expedition in Yorkshire unearths a vampire graveyard with bloody consequences – including for Sinclair himself. Will he survive his own death and undeath, or wind up as part of a ghoulish banquet alongside the dregs of London?

In John Sinclair’s line of work, the lines are blurred between supernatural cults and organised crime: both lead to extensive violence and upset the peace. When the two combine into a force threatening to upheave London’s underworld, Sinclair has to team up with a new partner to prevent the Black Dragon from rising in more ways than one. The aftermath brings equally little peace, as Sinclair’s new fling finds herself targeted by dark forces as well. Can he save her without betraying all he holds dear?

It doesn’t take long in the demon hunting business to realise that not everything is as it seems. When a madman is found wandering the woods in Spessart, John Sinclair finds himself at a fairy-tale castle promising its patrons a night they’ll never forget. Little does he know, something far more sinister lurks behind closed doors. An unholy plan to unleash the horrors of a long-lost continent leads Sinclair to team up with his partner Suko, but time is of the essence. Can the infamous Demon Hunter take on the unstoppable force that is the Black Death, or will he lose his head along the way?

Demon hunting might be dangerous work, but it comes with travel benefits! John Sinclair and Suko travel to Greece in pursuit of a mysterious magician and the secrets of Atlantis! But even the Mediterranean depths are full of threats... Bound by a promise, the gang return to Britain to slay a vampire coven, before taking flight for New York! But with the meter running on a cursed taxi, will Sinclair make it to Romania in time to prevent Dracula's descendants from rising again - or will a certain Impaler beat him to it?

The work of a demon hunter is never done! While John Sinclair's still in Romania, hot on D Kalurac's trail, a band of vampires cause trouble in London. Not only do their spawn infiltrate a British ministry, the vampires even kidnap Bill Connolly's wife and son! John Sinclair has to pull out all the stops to put an end to D Kalurac's plans! But evil is never without company, and John also has to travel to a French monastery to decipher the mystery behind "aeba". Just what could it mean? The final story in this volume sees John head to Wales, where he has to prevent the nachzehrers from rising...and do battle with a familiar face.

May they be lurking in London or across the world, demons never rest. With news of the rise of vampires in Hong Kong, John Sinclair is called to investigate. Perhaps a word with the reporter, Mike Kilrain, will set things straight... Suko, meanwhile, visits his old master, the great Li Shen, only to be told that John has walked right into a trap! But in his efforts to hunt down his partner, Suko falls for a mysterious lady called Shao — will he win her heart, or will she kill him first? Accompanied by new allies and with an appearance from the renounced Professor Zamorra, will Sinclair escape with his life?

In the darkest corners of Paris, shadows have begun to stir. Peculiar creatures have arrived to take back Belphegor’s land! When John Sinclair wakes in the basement of the Louvre, he must fight for his life or meet a traumatising fate — to be shrunk and trapped for the entertainment of his greatest nemesis! If only his friends could save him... Will Mallmann, meanwhile, takes a well-deserved break in the Bavarian Forest, but not even the dead will let him rest. The team had better be prepared for one hell of a ride — be it involving walking skeletons, a joyous wedding, or a terrible tragedy.

The stage is set, and the graves are dug — the graves of John Sinclair and his friends, that is! The Black Death has prepared his most elaborate scheme yet, paving the way to the all-deciding battle in the Graveyard at the End of the World. With the help of Suko and Will Mallmann, John must sneak into East Germany, where in a mountain of witches lies the team’s last hope: the Book of Nightmares, the key to the Black Death’s demise. If only it were so easy to take. With his friends being abducted one by one into an ancient world filled with horrors and nightmares, John had better hurry. The final battle is drawing near, and only one shall face their final slumber, but will it be John Sinclair or the Black Death?
