Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites

Welcome to Burden Hill - A peaceful suburb like any other with white picket fences and vibrant green grass - home to an unlikely team of paranormal investigators.

Black magic, demonic frogs, and zombie roadkill are just a few of the problems plaguing this seemingly sleepy little town. With the human residents unaware of the danger, it's up to a determined crew of dogs (and one cat) to keep their community safe.

Horror, adventure, mystery, and humor thrive on every page of Beasts of Burden , which promises to capture readers' hearts and haunt their dreams.

Award-winning comics creators Evan Dorkin ( Milk & Cheese ) and Jill Thompson ( Scary Godmother ) come together to share the lives of some unlucky heroes, first introduced in The Dark Horse Book of Hauntings , for which Dorkin and Thompson won coveted Eisner awards for Best Short Story and Best Painter. Animal Rites collects those earliest tales, along with the four-issue comic series Beasts of Burden .
