This collection of John Constantine stories is mainly notable for the significant number of Christmas themed stories. I have may now have a whole new take on the holidays--in Constantine's world. The last Christmas story had such a plot twist that I had to check out who wrote it which was China Mieville. I gave this 3 stars because as a collection of different stories by different writers, there was no depth or significant plot development. Constantine seems to be on the edges which makes him a good character for different writers to share their visions. Just know that this volume could jump start your holidays especially if you like them sick, twisted, and dryly funny.

A collection of Hellblazer offcuts and extras all of them better than the titular story.
If you ever get to feeling too cheerful and optimistic, this is the book to read to bring you back to depression. These are some dark stories. The worldview depicted here is bleak at best.
More a short story collection than a unified story. "Ashes and Honey" was my favorite, and I appreciated the
John Constantine stories tend to span the whole wheelhouse of horror, from sensationalist splatter-punk to artistic interpretations of man's monstrous nature/the nature of fear itself. This volume collects a good array, and anyone looking for a quick horror read will likely find at least one of the stories holds appeal.

Constantine stories are weird. Very very weird. I love the movie and I loved parts of a different Constantine book so I took this up. All I can really say is that it's a weird character with weird stories. This book didn't put me off Constantine though, which I guess is a good thing. But I'm not going to immediately go out an pick up another Constantine graphic novel. I need time.

If you're looking for lots of demons and magic, this isn't the collection for you. But, the stories are weird and psychological. Also, you get a decent sense of who Constantine is.
No de lo mejor de Constantine, pero al menos 3 historias muy buenas
