Forbidden Worlds #19

When Carl Trent learns that his friend Dan Durham has been haunted by an eerily vivid dream of being a pirate chief who kidnapped a voodoo queen named Nizar centuries ago, the line between nightmare and reality begins to blur—especially when they discover a mysterious new dancer at a local club bearing the same name and an inexplicable mark. As supernatural forces manifest to reclaim what was lost across the centuries, Dan and Nizar must confront the ancient voodoo curse that binds them, with Carl drawing on his own occult knowledge to help them survive the night. What unfolds is a race against both the supernatural and time itself, as the vengeful priests of Haiti work their dark magic to ensure their queen's return—one way or another.

A big-game hunter named Mr. Ferris ignores a native warning that a sacred lion houses the spirit of a departed chief, and pursues the beast into the African jungle alongside Stan and his daughter Alice Ferris. What begins as a hunt becomes something far more sinister when supernatural forces emerge to avenge the killing—forcing the group to confront an enemy that bullets alone cannot stop.

In a Bavarian village haunted by dark rumors, Gwenn's father is forced to promise her hand to the mysterious Baron Nicht—a supernatural being whose previous brides have vanished into his forbidding castle. When the Baron claims his prize, Gwenn finds herself imprisoned in the nightmarish stronghold, where the vengeful ghosts of his former wives offer her a desperate chance at survival—but only if her sweetheart Jon can reach her in time and discover the one weapon that might end the Baron's reign of terror.
