After innocently using incantation, an ordinary man turns to Constantine for help, but when an infamous Scottish occultist gets involved, Constantine soon discovers he has been cursed with empathy for his fellow man and realizes that the nightmare has just begun.
From Booklist
In a London pub, sardonic magician John Constantine meets a distraught man who has come down with a crippling case of empathy. His intense awareness of the unbearable suffering he has caused in other people's lives has brought him to the brink of suicide. Worse, his preternatural empathy is contagious, and he gives the caustic sorcerer a dose that prompts unaccustomed and unwelcome emotions. The two men head to Scotland and the cause of the affliction. There Constantine is pressured to make a horrific sacrifice. Glasgow-born crime novelist Mina, complemented by Manco's moody art, puts a new wrinkle in the long-running Constantine chronicles. Gordon FlaggCopyright © American Library Association.
