Chamber of Chills Magazine #26

In "The Eight Hands of Ranu," a grieving relic collector, haunted by the loss of his wife, makes a fateful decision: he sends a trio of thieves to steal a cursed multi-armed statue from an African village, knowing the danger it poses. Unaware of the horror they’re walking into, the men journey to the remote tribe—only to meet a fate far worse than they could imagine as the statue awakens with deadly intent.

In "The Ice Horror," a scientist and his team uncover a prehistoric creature in the frozen wastes of Antarctica, bringing it back to his lab in America. Once thawed, the ancient being awakens—only to meet a sudden, unexpected end when the warmth of the modern world causes it to dissolve into slime before it can strike again.

In "Demons of the Night," a deranged mind summons the Butcher, the Baker, and the Candlestick Maker from the nursery rhyme "Rub-a-dub-dub" to terrorize the city. Bound by dark magic, the three figures carry out their gruesome tasks—until they learn their creator plans to erase them once his purpose is served. Now hunted by their own creation, they must decide what to do when the one who gave them life becomes their greatest threat.
