Nightmare #15

This "Weird Creeping Death" issue features at least one story involving vampire bats, written by Alan Hewetson and illustrated by Zesar, in which the truth behind vampire bat mythology is explored—specifically their threat to humans due to carrying rabies and their ability to attack in organized groups that consume human blood. The narrative begins with an editor's note about Hewetson's visit to Arkham, Massachusetts, to interview a Professor Howard Hay regarding mysterious papers and the legendary "Shoggoth," with hints that disturbing supernatural knowledge may be uncovered through this investigation.
