Supernatural: The Dogs of Edinburgh

by Brian Wood, Grant Bond

Overview

Dean and Sam Winchester were raised as Hunters by their widowed father, seeking vengeance on the supernatural elements that took their mother from them. But the road to vengeance is a dark one, and is it a place where children can have any semblance of a life? On an academic break while at Stanford, Sam Winchester visits the United Kingdom on what is meant to be a sleepy trip. His first day he meets the hypnotic 'Emma of the Isles,' who takes him to a nasty part of town, where an even nastier evil lurks. This could be the very first team-up between European and American Hunters – but will it end in disaster?

Editorial Reviews

In this prequel to the hit series Supernatural, Sam Winchester is en route to a college exchange program in Edinburgh, Scotland. At his first destination, the library, he meets a cute bookworm named Emma. It turns out that Emma is also a hunter, or as the Scottish say, a “breaker.” Wood’s (DMZ; Northlanders) Emma is another fantastic, strong female character following the lead of “Zee” from DMZ. Though Sam’s brother Dean isn’t with him in the Scottish Isles, Sam is constantly thinking of him and always wondering what Dean would do if he were there. The art by Bond is a perfect fit for this spooky tale of bloodthirsty seal maidens.

Verdict A must-read for fans of Supernatural; also, a good pick for fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Mike Mignola’s B.P.R.D.—Amy Galante, Bentley Univ., Waltham, MA(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
