Umgeben von kahlen Bäumen in einer schneebedeckten Wildnis erstreckt sich die Kolyma in Sibirien, eine 1.200 Meilen lange Straße aus geschottertem Permafrost. Autofahrer kämpfen mit extremen Bedingungen wie vereisten Oberflächen und Temperaturen von bis zu sechzig Grad unter null, während tödliche Unfälle häufig sind. Diese als „Straße der Knochen“ bekannte Strecke ist zudem ein riesiger Friedhof für Gulag-Häftlinge der ehemaligen Sowjetunion, deren Leichen unter dem Permafrost verborgen sind. Dokumentarfilmer Felix „Teig“ Teigland plant eine Serie über Leben und Tod auf dieser Straße und reist in die Stadt Akhust, den „kältesten Ort der Welt“, um Geistergeschichten und lokale Legenden zu sammeln. Doch bei seiner Ankunft findet er die Stadt verlassen, bis auf ein katatonisches neunjähriges Mädchen, und ein Rudel räuberischer Wölfe, die unheimlich intelligent erscheinen. Verfolgt von diesen Bestien sieht sich Teigs Team unheimlichen und unerklärlichen Phänomenen gegenüber, als ob die Geister von Stalins Opfern sie heimsuchen. Diese erschütternde Reise bringt Teig an seine Grenzen und zwingt ihn, sich den Sünden seiner Vergangenheit zu stellen.

Chirayoju, een vampier uit de Chinese overlevering, en Sanno, de legendarische, Japanse Bergkoning, zitten al eeuwen vast in een dodelijke strijd. Letterlijk. Een oude vloek heeft de geesten van deze twee strijders in een antiek zwaard gezet. Tot het zwaard in Sunnydale terechtkomt. Chirayoju wordt per ongeluk bevrijd, en gaat op zoek naar een gastlichaam dat hem in staat zal stellen verder te gaan met het verwoesten van de levens van de levenden en de doden. Dan komt Buffy deze legendarische vampier op het spoor, een bloederig spoor, door het hart van de Buffy-Xander-Willow-driehoek loopt.

When Lord Henry Baltimore awakens the wrath of a vampire on the hellish battlefields of World War I, the world is forever changed. For a virulent plague has been unleashed—a plague that even death cannot end. Now the lone soldier in an eternal struggle against darkness, Baltimore summons three old friends to a lonely inn—men whose travels and fantastical experiences incline them to fully believe in the evil that is devouring the soul of mankind. As the men await their old friend, they share their tales of terror and misadventure, and contemplate what part they will play in Baltimore’s timeless battle. Before the night is through, they will learn what is required to banish the plague—and the creature who named Baltimore his nemesis—once and for all. Written by Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden, with illustrations by Mignola.

"Trotz eines verwirrenden, unverhofften Wiedersehens mit Pike, ihrer großen Liebe aus L.A., bleibt der Jägerin nur wenig Zeit, sich mit ihren Gefühlen auseinander zu setzen, denn Giles, ihr Wächter und Vertrauter, wird zur Zielscheibe mysteriöser, brutaler Vampirangriffe. Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass Giles in den Bann einer Glamourdämonin gerät, die ihn im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes um den Verstand bringt. All dies ist Teil eines großen, geheimnisvollen Plans, dessen Drahtzieher ganz offensichtlich eine nicht unbedeutende Rolle in Giles' Leben gespielt hat, und nun eine noch offene Rechnung mit ihm begleichen will. Für sein perfides Spiel steht dem großen Unbekannten eine schier endlose SChar von Vampiren zur Verfügung, denen jedes Mittel recht ist, um den Willen ihres Herrn und Meisters zu erfüllen. Keine leichte Aufgabe für Buffy, zumal Giles sich mit hilfreichen Informationen mehr als bedeckt hält. So ist Buffy auf sich und ihre Freunde gestellt und entdeckt, dass auch ein Wächter zuweilen bewacht werden muss"--Back cover
