In "Escape to Death!", a desperate convict uses the grim routine of preparing corpses for burial as his chance to break free—hiding in a coffin bound for a cemetery, only to find himself switched with the body meant for the crematorium. With the fate of his escape hanging on a single misplaced name tag, every second becomes a race against the flames. Illustrated by Jon D'Agostino and featuring a cover by L. B. Cole, this chilling tale from IDW's Haunted Horror series delivers a pulse-pounding twist on the classic prison escape.
