In "L'èchiquier du Diable," chess master Alan Blake finds himself trapped in a perilous game on a cursed chessboard, where each captured piece exacts a real-world toll. When his queen is taken, the stakes become horrifyingly personal—his fiancée collapses, her life hanging in the balance as Blake races to find a way to save her.

In "Un talent pour le meurtre!", a struggling painter finds his brushstrokes increasingly haunted by a presence he can’t name—until the spirit of the studio’s former occupant takes control, turning his canvas into a weapon of vengeance against those who wronged the dead artist.
