Hell Baby

by Hideshi Hino

Hell Baby Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From one of Japan's most accomplished artists comes this new graphic novel, the unsettling saga of twin sisters born one dark and stormy night in Tokyo: one normal, and one a demon baby with a taste for blood - a Hell Baby. Tossed into a garbage dump, Hell Baby dies in the plastic bag but is brought back to life by an unworldly bolt of lightening. Hell Baby develops hard-earned hunting techniques to survive life among the wild animals who roam the garbage dump. After struggling along for seven years, she seeks revenge for her fate and returns to the city, where she applies her hunting skills for survival - this time against the good citizens of Tokyo.

MissMushroom, September 11, 2006 (view all comments by MissMushroom)
A hideously grotesque, disgustingly wonderful story and drawings by Hideshi Hino. Hellbaby is thrown away by her father shortly after her birth because she's been born a monster who is hungry for blood instead of milk.
She grows up alone in a dump, scavenging for food, while her "normal" twin sister and parents happily go about their lives without her.
Eventually she ventures to the city, where she "gets hungry" and eats a few dogs and the arm of a policeman. You can't help but love the misunderstood little cannibal, Hellbaby! Really gory and not for people who get nauseated easily.
