Summary

Hellboy has accompanied his girlfriend, Anastasia Bransfield, on a trip to Brazil to help colleagues who are conducting an archaeological dig in the jungle.

While they’re having coffee, a colleague arrives...through a public square, sick and sluggish and in agony. He falls, and wasps begin to come out of his mouth. When he bursts open, more wasps emerge—his insides are full of a labyrinthine, gray, papery nest.

It becomes clear that something sinister and supernatural is at play here. This Original Dramatized Audiobook continues the story from HELLBOY IN LOVE.

Written exclusively for GraphicAudio and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

Performed by Jasmine Hyde, Scott McCormick, Stewart Crank, Carolla Parmejano, Sebastian Zancanaro, Peter Holdway, Kay Eluvian, Bia Borin, Vinicius Faria Zinn, Stephanie Németh-Parker and Eric Messner.

Critic reviews

"A full cast accompanied by a score and sound effects brings this Hellboy adventure to life.... Scott McCormick captures Hellboy's wry sarcasm in a booming voice and gravelly timbre. Jasmine Hyde voices Anastasia as more than Hellboy's girlfriend; along with her affectionate fondness for the wisecracking demon, she's a capable adventurer. The sound effects--persistent rain, the hum of a car motor--all capture the ear. The music is an occasional but cinematic presence when it wafts into a scene." (AudioFile)

My first dramatised audio book not produced by Marvel or the BBC. It started off well reminding me of the BBC Saturday Theatre productions with good acting driven by an intriguing story but about 50% in it started to just become a journey with lots of description and even the ending was slow and drawn out. I would have cut an hour and condensed the story for a much more satisfying and tighter story

Great start but lost it’s way

Even though as an adult i am really afraid of wasps this story/listening experience did not give me any sweats. The performances were great, Christopher Golden adapts Hellboy with great experience. An hour could have been cut about unnecessary conversations how old archeology was racist and evil.

Great performance, not much of a horror

I don't listen to a lot of audiobooks but this one faithfully added to the Hellboy Universe and followed what I feel are the standard tropes of the hellboy universe in uncovering the 'Other'. Well worth the listen and looking forward to the next 2 audiobooks.

A fun tale for a fan

I imagine the graphic novel would be better than just listening to the audio on its own.

The story was entertaining enough
