Weird #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Vampire Witch," a man broken by years of abuse takes a desperate turn one night when he meets a mysterious witch who grants him a wish. He asks to become a powerful black knight to exact revenge on his wife, but when the deed is done, his guilt and frustration lead him to confess—only to be betrayed. The witch’s curse turns him into a rat, and he’s hanged for the murder he didn’t want to commit.
In "The Blob," a scientist's groundbreaking experiment goes catastrophically wrong when his ultra-potent solution begins dissolving everything it touches—starting with his lab and spiraling into the earth itself, carving out a growing crater with no sign of stopping.
In "Devil Ghouls," a college student returns home after a terrifying premonition of his town's destruction by hellish demons. Though he's relieved to find his parents alive and well, subtle details—like their unnaturally still eyes and the flicker of something not quite human in their smiles—begin to unsettle him. The familiar streets and faces now feel just slightly off, as if the world itself has been quietly remade.
In "The Witch's House Is Haunted," Simon Lowell thinks he’s outsmarted death by faking a haunting to scare his elderly uncle Mark into suicide—just to claim the inheritance. But when the house begins whispering back, and the voices he once mocked turn cruel and relentless, Simon realizes the ghost he summoned might not be the one he expected.
In "Death Trap," newspaper correspondent Robert Avery—aware his heart condition gives him only one day to live—makes a chilling pact with Death itself: he’ll take lives early in exchange for more time. He journeys to perilous places like war-torn Korea and Red China, where death is a constant companion, but his luck begins to falter when he attempts to escape a plague-ridden city inside a coffin.
