☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freePsycho #19 is an anthology featuring a special three-part origin saga of Count Dracula set in Dark Ages Romania, wherein the man known as Dracula was a monarch whose kingdom was taken from him, an alchemist who used forbidden methods to avoid premature burial, and a mad mass murderer whose name in Romanian means "Satan or Demon-on-Earth," who seeks revenge on the peasants who burned his castle. The issue also includes illustrated scenes and commentary on classic horror literature, discussing how works by authors such as Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley, and Edgar Allan Poe have influenced horror cinema, and how their novels remain celebrated despite their authors having died before film was invented.
A young girl, drawn by curiosity, chants an ancient curse in an abandoned house, unwittingly awakening a monstrous presence from beyond the grave. The story builds dread through classic horror tropes—oppressive atmosphere, a cursed location, and the ever-present unknown—leaving the girl trapped in a nightmarish confrontation with something ancient and unspeakable.
In a twisted pact, Lady Satan, inhabiting the body of Anne Jackson, awaits the birth of her son—destined to be a demonic heir named Judas—while keeping Anne’s consciousness imprisoned. As Anne struggles to reclaim control, she realizes that the only way to stop the abomination is to destroy the body, even if it means sacrificing herself.
A reclusive inventor, isolated in his castle, watches in horror as his experimental flying device—a sleek, metallic "bird"—spirals out of control, killing a child and turning the townsfolk against him. When they storm his fortress, he activates his defenses, only for each one to malfunction catastrophically, leaving him more alienated than ever. In a final, defiant moment, he declares he’s had enough of a world that rejects him, standing alone as the mob closes in.
In a remote Swiss village in 1842, a monstrous, mindless beast known as the Yeti terrorizes the town with brutal, indiscriminate violence, leaving destruction in its wake. As the terrified villagers barricade themselves inside, one man steps out alone to confront the creature, driven by a desperate need to stop its rampage. The story builds toward a tense, personal showdown, leaving the outcome uncertain.
A grieving man, haunted by the memory of his late wife Ligeia, finds himself drawn into a haunting mystery when his new wife Rowena falls ill and dies. In the eerie stillness of the night, he is struck by a chilling vision—Rowena’s corpse seems to transform, and he is overcome with the belief that the spirit of his lost love has returned.
In a remote, crumbling hovel, a tormented nobleman—once a tyrant known as Vlad—awakens from death, driven by a thirst for vengeance after his castle was destroyed. With the help of a mysterious old woman who conjures a demon, he is transformed into a vampire, awakening to terrifying new powers and a hunger he doesn’t yet understand. As he grapples with his monstrous new nature, he begins to realize the full scope of his power—and the dark path he must now walk.
Vincent Crayne, adrift in a foreign city after a personal tragedy, is consumed by thoughts of revenge against a woman who abandoned him. As he wanders through the night, overwhelmed by isolation and paranoia, he is forced into a violent confrontation that blurs the line between hunter and hunted—until a shocking encounter with a man who bears his own face forces him to question what kind of monster he has become.
