Haunted Horror #2

In "A Death for a Death," Dr. Ansel Jarrat, a naturalist who once dismissed the suffering of insects, begins to experience a terrifying transformation—each night he awakens as a different insect, from caterpillar to cockroach. As the line between man and creature blurs, he must confront the consequences of his past cruelty before the curse consumes him entirely.

On Friday the 13th, Jo and their partner check into a hotel that feels too quiet, too old, and too eager to welcome them—right into room 1313 on the 13th floor. What starts as a late-night escape quickly turns into something far stranger when they realize they’re not alone: the room is already full of guests, all of whom have died in the same place, year after year.

In "Kill, My Minions of Death!", Ivan Buloff wields an army of flying severed hands—born from dark experiments and black magic—to terrorize the world and blackmail the German government. But when the sister of one of his victims begins to uncover his secrets, his reign of terror may finally meet its match.

In "Her Lips Dripped Blood," Bill and his wife Betty settle into her family’s isolated New England estate, where the enigmatic housekeeper Clara watches from the shadows. As a decades-old werewolf curse resurfaces and a series of brutal attacks terrorize the countryside, Betty uncovers a dark truth about her grandfather—and her own bloodline—leaving her to wonder if the beast stalking the woods is a monster of flesh… or something far older, and far more personal.

In "Heartline," a grieving surgeon named Lawrence Romaine, haunted by the loss of his beloved Susanne, makes a desperate and dangerous choice—reviving her with a cadaver’s heart. But when Susanne awakens, her affections shift in a way no one could have predicted, leaving Lawrence to confront a truth both intimate and unsettling. The story explores the fragile boundary between love and identity, where the heart may remember more than the mind ever could.
