Beware #6

Hugo, a graveyard caretaker desperate for acceptance and love, spirals into darkness after repeated rejection—from Virginia Barton's sweetheart Carl, from townspeople who mock his appearance, and from banker Foster who denies him a loan. Driven by bitterness and a botched facial surgery that leaves him more disfigured than before, Hugo begins a vengeful killing spree against those who wronged him, trapping their bodies in a secluded place. But something far older and deadlier than Hugo's rage is stirring in the swamp, and his crimes have awakened a creature that exists only to settle its own ancient score.

In "Almost Human," a reclusive scientist in a secluded castle brings his most ambitious creation to life—a robot so lifelike it blurs the line between man and machine. When the experiment awakens with a mind of its own, it turns on its maker and sets out to forge a new world, one where synthetic beings rise to challenge the humans who made them.

In "The Paper Ghost," a man’s betrayal at the paper mill leads to a gruesome death—his body dissolved in acid, then reborn as the very paper he once helped create. Now, as ink and pulp, he moves through cups, newspapers, and pages, whispering vengeance through the world he’s bound to.
