By Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson

Beasts of Burden is a fun-filled adventure story that features a heroic group of dogs-and one cat-who are set with the task of keeping the residents of Burden Hill safe from supernatural occurrences.

Following a slew of magical frogs, encountering hostile ghosts, setting off to rescue an old friend from a sewer filled with some very large rats, and discovering buried secrets in the local cemetery are all in a day's work for this new team of unlikely heroes. This hardcover includes the original stories from the Dark Horse Book of . . . anthologies, plus the all-new series from this award-winning team! 'It's a lot of fun, and ideal for kids who don't mind a little gore and ghosts with their adorable animal.' -The (Onion) A.V. Club
