A very unusual story. Now who do we have here? Jack the Ripper, Dr. Frankenstein and monster. The werewolf, Dracula. Sherlock Holmes, a monk who sounds suspiciously like Rasputin, and others in a Lovecraftian tale with ancient ones and Cthulhu. Plus a bunch of very odd and wise animal sidekicks. Can...
