“A Talent for Murder!”

In "A Talent for Murder!", Emmy Poole and her son Vernon become victims of small-town cruelty, but their fate takes a darkly whimsical turn when mysterious magic seeds—sent with a catalog of oddities—awaken a vengeance as strange as it is unexpected. Written by Bill Parente and Guy Lillian and brought to life with eerie precision by Alex Niño, this eerie tale blends folk horror and supernatural retribution in a story that lingers long after the final page. The cover, by Leo Duranona, captures the unsettling charm of the tale with a haunting, dreamlike image.
