Horrific #12

Gary Ghoul spins a tale of maritime murder and supernatural reckoning when Ben Pickett, an adopted son, is drowned by his brother Caleb and their father Ezra to secure sole inheritance of the family fishing fleet. As guilt gnaws at Caleb in the days leading to his twenty-first birthday, he becomes haunted by the sound of wet sea-boots drawing ever closer—and the line between madness and the genuinely supernatural grows terrifyingly thin.

A young surveyor named Bill Bennett ventures into the remote hills to survey a proposed road, armed with nothing but skepticism and a protective cross—despite warnings from locals about a notorious witch and her daughters who supposedly practice dark magic and cannibalism. When a charming hitchhiker named Ellie offers him shelter and hospitality, Bill finds himself drawn to her, unaware that she may be far more dangerous than the folklore suggested. As the evening unfolds and Bill's guard drops, the true nature of the threat becomes terrifyingly clear.
