Midnight #5

In "The Mightiest Force in the World!", two Scottish highlanders from warring families—Angus McCann and Mary McLeod—find themselves bound by a forbidden love that defies bloodlines. After their tragic deaths at the hands of their families’ patriarchs, their spirits rise, united in a haunting quest for justice that no living blade can match.

When two young lovers from feuding families wed in secret during 1560, they're forced to hide their marriage—and eventually disappear into the abandoned chambers of a castle, hoping their absence might end a centuries-old feud. As months pass in hardship and isolation, Mary and Angus make a desperate final gambit, each risking everything to prove that their love might accomplish what violence never could. Will their sacrifice bring peace, or merely deepen the sorrow that already haunts both clans?

When Master Pinwheel sets out to bag a wild turkey for Thanksgiving in the old days, his hunt goes wildly off the rails—he's chased by Native Americans, petrified by sorcery, shaken down by goblins, and ends up dumping a witch's magic elixir into the swamp.

It's a delightfully topsy-turvy tale that'll make you grateful for frozen dinners and simple modern Thanksgivings!
