Nightmare #16

Ted Williams, a Chicago police commissioner, wakes in alleys with no memory of his nights—haunted by a curse passed down from his father in 1930s Romania that transforms him into a mindless beast under the full moon. When a young woman imprisoned in police headquarters undergoes the same terrible metamorphosis, their encounter spirals into a desperate manhunt that forces the department to confront a danger lurking in their own walls. This second chapter of "The Werewolf Macabre" escalates the horror as two cursed souls unknowingly cross paths, setting off a chain of violence and pursuit that will shake Chicago to its core.

The crew of the whaling ship Ambergris faces a nightmare when a monstrous serpent emerges from the sea, drawn by the scent of their blubber cargo—and begins hunting men. Trapped aboard with the creature, the captain makes a desperate gamble to contain it in the hold, hoping starvation or the creature's own hunger will force it back to the ocean. What waits in the ship's depths—and what the creature leaves behind—transforms their survival into something far worse than death.
