Another story depicts a post-apocalyptic world following a third world war lasting only four hours, where the remnants of humanity have devolved into a primitive tribal state and discover sacred artifacts from the old civilization sealed in a cave, bearing the final legacy of mankind's existence. The issue also includes a special horror contest and other tales of supernatural terror typical of Skywald's Nightmare anthology series.
Trapped in a stone cell beneath a perpetual sky, a man known only as Taylor clings to hope while haunted by visions of a winged mount and a glowing disc. As whispers of freedom echo through his mind, he struggles between delusion and a terrifying revelation about his fate.
In a remote mountain resort, a group of troubled patients undergo intense therapy led by the calculating Dr. Blaine, whose methods force them to confront buried hatreds. As tensions rise and secrets spill, a series of violent deaths shakes the group, leaving the survivors—and the reader—wondering who among them is capable of murder.
A group of desperate rats—led by Marcel—seeks to escape starvation in the French port of Lorien by stowing away on a cargo ship bound for America, hoping to survive the journey hidden in the hold. As the ship sails through the Atlantic, a crewman reports seeing a rat, sparking fear that the plague has already boarded, and the captain orders a frantic search—too late to save the crew from the spreading horror.
A grieving father discovers his son’s journal detailing a lifelong hunt for a monstrous creature—only to realize the horrifying truth behind the final entry. As they examine the silver blade found at the scene, the boy questions whether his father’s vengeance was justified, and the father offers a chilling, cryptic answer about the nature of evil.
In the aftermath of a global cataclysm, a small band of survivors hides sacred remnants of humanity’s past in a sealed cave. Centuries later, an alien expedition from Venus uncovers the relics, using a projected film to study the strange, violent behavior of the long-extinct people who left them behind.
In the year 2056, a father and son mercenary team arrive at the isolated underwater city of Pala, hired to eliminate a monstrous, intelligent mutant squid that has terrorized the settlement for two weeks. As they navigate the city’s ruined streets and discover the creature’s horrifying handiwork, they realize too late that their weapons are useless—and the beast is not just a mindless predator, but something far more cunning and relentless.
