☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue presents two distinct horror stories. The first story features a creature made of slime that hunts victims in city alleyways, attacking a man who experiences burning pain and fear for the first time in its life. The second story, "A Man Who Dare Not Sleep," written by Ed Fedory and illustrated by Dela Rosa, follows a sailor aboard a ship in the South Pacific who struggles to stay awake after witnessing mysterious wounds and references to "the seal of the vampire," and encounters a supernatural being before meeting a tragic end. A third story involves a wizard's death and a sorceress named Cassandra who discovers she is the sole survivor of Atlantis and learns that the man who sank the legendary city sought her out because of his connection to her.
A man obsessed with classic horror films begins to believe he is the monsters he watches, transforming himself into a masked figure inspired by the Phantom of the Opera. As he stalks the streets, his delusion deepens, blurring the line between performer and monster—until a chance encounter with a child forces him to confront the haunting truth of who he once was.
A lone figure stalks the night, drawn to a shadowed alley where a grotesque, slime-covered creature awaits its next victim. When a man confronts the beast, he believes he’s slain a monster—only to learn, too late, that he’s destroyed a mother protecting her young.
The story reexamines the myth of scalping, revealing how the practice was falsely blamed on Native Americans and actually originated from a brutal bounty system imposed by white settlers. It presents a chilling historical twist that reframes a well-known horror as a consequence of colonial violence, not indigenous tradition.
Cassandra, the Sorceress of the Seventh Wind, journeys through the cursed halls of Demon Castle to rescue Mynstrel, a captured minstrel whose fate is tied to the fall of Atlantis. As she battles illusions, monstrous guardians, and the lingering presence of the fallen wizard Morlock, she uncovers secrets that challenge everything she thought she knew.
The Hippy-Criters Are Comin' A young woman and her companion, Gary, grow increasingly uneasy as they drive through a sweltering Arkansas town, where the locals are slow to react and even slower to help. When a group of strangers arrives—dressed in mismatched, eccentric clothes and carrying something ominous—they begin to suspect the newcomers aren’t just passing through, but have a purpose in this isolated place.
