The Beyond #1

In 1873, an Irish innkeeper named Riordan begins having vivid dreams that foretell a murder—dreams so real he can’t ignore them. When the visions lead him to uncover a hidden lair, he must decide whether to trust his visions or risk being seen as a madman.

In "The Reluctant Ghost," three guests at a seance summon spirits seeking beauty, knowledge, and wealth—each receiving their desires in unsettling ways. As their wishes manifest, the cost of such power begins to reveal itself in ways they never expected.

In the quiet suburbs of London, Oliver Chapman, haunted by a dread of premature burial, installs a foghorn beside his coffin in the family crypt. When he passes, his relatives are shaken by the sudden, eerie blast of the horn—and the sight of a ghostly figure emerging from the tomb.

In "The Phantom Puppet," a desperate puppet master crafts a lifelike doll of Jack the Ripper—only to watch in horror as it steps from the workshop into the night, leaving a trail of blood. As the town dismisses his warnings, the line between creator and creation blurs, and the fire that consumes the house may not be the end of the nightmare.
