☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"A Death for a Death" delivers a chilling twist on the classic wish-fulfillment trope, centering on Edgar, a man whose life of quiet desperation takes a surreal turn when he stumbles upon a mysterious shop selling bottled Genii—tiny, sentient beings trapped in glass. With just five dollars in his pocket, he purchases one, unaware of the terrible cost that comes with his sudden chance at power. Illustrated with striking, moody precision by Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio, this 2016 tale from Crypt of Horror #29 is a masterclass in dread and consequence, where every wish carries a price far heavier than money.
Contains 26 stories
A Death for a Death
Dr. Ansel Jarrat, a naturalist, works at the Natural History Museum. Dr. Jarrat never cared that he put many insects through incredible pain by pulling them apart and dissecting them without chloroform for the museum's exhibits. After all they were only insects. But now the insects will have their revenge. Every night Dr. Jarrat finds himself turning into an insect. A caterpillar one night, a cockroach the next. Will Dr. Jarrat find a way out of this curse or will he die the death of an insect, like so many he has killed?
