Nightmare #12

A census taker exploring Louisiana's unmapped bayou stumbles upon San Miguel, a lost medieval Spanish city frozen in time—complete with torture instruments and a ruthless ruler named Don Tomaso who treats the 20th-century intruder as an enemy. When a sympathetic girl named Nina Mendoza helps him escape the dungeons, Jim Cannon finds himself forced into a deadly dagger duel against Tomaso himself, fighting for survival in a nightmare he can barely comprehend.

A man's descent into alcoholism and cruelty spirals into nightmare when he mistreats his beloved black cat Pluto, only to find himself haunted by the animal's memory in increasingly supernatural ways. As his vices deepen and his grip on sanity weakens, he's driven to unspeakable acts—but the cat's return forces a reckoning he never saw coming. This adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's classic horror tale builds dread through a man's own confession, trapping him in a web of guilt and terror from which there is no escape.

When Al and Emma Peale open a coffee shop in a Manhattan brownstone, they quickly discover the house harbors dark secrets—the unsolved 1900 murder of young Arthur Rhiner still echoes through its halls, with ghostly reenactments disturbing the peace each night. As Al investigates the mystery, a mysterious old woman named Crazy Lou appears with a key to the house, leading him and a police officer to uncover a hidden room that holds the truth behind the tragedy. What they find will expose a crime of passion buried for decades, and a spirit that refuses to rest.
