"The Pit" follows a man who nearly drowns in a mysterious pit and is rescued by a woman, only to discover she is part of a sinister plot involving a mad scientist creating an army of the undead in a hidden cavern city. A second story, told in flashback, involves a man who murders his wife Helen for her life insurance money by taking her to a movie, but is haunted by supernatural forces and eventually caught by police, though the supernatural element suggests he may have been cursed for his crime. The issue concludes with a tale of a police officer who encounters a mysterious being bearing "the mark of Grahku," a supernatural curse passed down through generations that compels the marked individual to kill, and learns the only way to break the curse is to send the cursed person back into darkness before they strike again.

The Werewolf of Warsham Manor!
7 pp · Horror-Suspense

In "The Werewolf of Warsham Manor!", Robert Warsham rushes to his dying uncle’s side, only to uncover a chilling family secret: a curse born from a failed experiment decades earlier, when Vincent Warsham’s scientist partner was transformed into a were-beast. Now, as Robert approaches his 45th birthday, he realizes the horrifying truth—the curse is still active, and every Warsham man who reaches that age becomes a target.

King of the Living Dead!
7 pp · Horror-Suspense

In Budapest, bride Adrina Rollande is taken by a zombie to an underground cavern, where her husband Walter Austen follows in a desperate bid to save her. There, he confronts an ancient madman who has spent centuries building an undead army to rule the surface world. As the cavern begins to collapse, Austen fights to stop the madman’s plans—before the entire underground world swallows them all.

The Subway Horror!
8 pp · Horror-Suspense

In "The Subway Horror!", a man haunted by guilt after a fatal accident on the subway tracks begins to see the ghost of his wife, driving him to the edge of madness. As his grip on reality slips, the line between memory and nightmare blurs—until a shocking truth emerges about who he really pushed into the path of the train.

The Monster from the Pit

In the shadowed hills of Transylvania, two detectives of old blood—Czerny and Gruszy—race to stop a killer whose monstrous deeds match the chilling legend of the Grahku, a cursed beast that rises from the earth.
