Okay Collection: Hellboy: Oddest Jobs is the third anthology

I like the superhero character, Hellboy and have seen 2 of the 3 films, read some of the comics and now, read a collection of short stories in the book " Hellboy: Oddest Jobs." It is the third anthology collecting non-chronological short stories written for the Hellboy novel series based on the comic book series by Mike Mignola, who provided cover illustrations for each story. I would give this collection 2 1/2 stars out of 5. Some of the stories were good, and others were a chore to get through.

WHO IS HELLBOY? Hellboy is the child of the demon Azzael and the witch Sarah Hughes, a former Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense agent and the unwilling Harbinger of the Apocalypse, Anung Un Rama.

ABOUT THE BOOK: And you thought Hell was weird... ! Long-time contributor to the Hellboy mythos, Christopher Golden brings together a crew of luminaries including Bram Stoker Award winners Joe R. Lansdale (Bubba Ho-Tep) and China Mieville (King Rat), cross-genre sensation Barbara Hambly (The Windrose Chronicles), celebrated mystery writer Ken Bruen (The Dramatist), bestselling science fiction and fantasy novelist Tad Williams (Otherland), and a bevy of other skilled storytellers eager to spin a tale or two about the world's greatest paranormal detective and pay homage to Mike Mignola's Hellboy!
