Forbidden Worlds #20

When Sally and Ted bring home a centuries-old antique mirror, they discover it's far more sinister than they bargained for—a gateway to a nightmarish realm ruled by the sorcerer Marlo, who has been enslaving victims for five hundred years. Trapped in his castle and threatened with transformation into grotesque creatures, the couple must rely on a mysterious ally to locate the mirror's secret chamber and fight their way back to escape this world of pure horror. With creatures pursuing them and time running out, their only chance at freedom lies in destroying the very portal that brought them to this nightmare.

Jim and Sally stumble upon a hidden war between two tiny goblin factions—the forest goblins and the water goblins—whose centuries-old conflict is ravaging Ridgeville with mysterious fires and drought. When Jim discovers the truth behind the town's disasters, he must find a way to broker peace between Gruhn's forest sprites and their enemies before the warring goblins destroy everything. With quick thinking and some unexpected help from across the ocean, Jim races to save both his town and stop a supernatural feud that's been burning since ancient times.

Sportsman Burt Evans sets out fishing in a New England stream, but a mysterious mist lures him inland to the desolate Red Mask Inn, where he encounters the innkeeper's daughter Miranda—and something far more sinister lurking in the darkness. Back at his hotel, his fiancée Alice Carson discovers Burt in a shock-induced coma and must trust a cryptic stranger's warning about ancient evil to save him before midnight brings a final, terrifying reckoning.

As they're forced deeper into the professor's underground laboratory, they come face-to-face with the horrifying results of his years of twisted research, and Joan becomes the target of his next gruesome experiment. With danger closing in from all sides, survival becomes their only hope.
