The Horror of Hillory Hill
7 pp · horror-suspense

In the quiet, shadowed village of Hillory Hill, the Hillory family appears unremarkable—father, son, and a mother confined to a wheelchair—until the sun goes down. Then, the night brings a series of terrifying deaths, each more gruesome than the last. As the townsfolk begin to suspect the truth, the family's gentle facade starts to crack, revealing something far more sinister beneath.

Baffling Mysteries #35

In the eerie realm of the supernatural, few tales unsettle quite like that of Martin Londos, the cruel proprietor of a famed traveling carnival that once swept across Europe. Once a master of men and beasts, his cruelty catches up with him when his animal freaks rise against him—leaving him forever changed, a living testament to his own monstrous legacy.

Doom Dancer

The story unfolds with eerie grace, tracing her rise and descent in a tale where art and horror blur.

Baffling Mysteries #36
1 pp · horror-suspense

In the eerie shadows of the Gulf Coast, two fishermen find themselves caught in a tale that defies reason—where loyalty turns to betrayal and the sea holds secrets too dark to name. When one man kills his partner for the boat, he soon learns some debts can’t be escaped, even in death. Written by the anonymous hand of 1954 and lettered in crisp, typeset style by Leroy, this chilling one-pager lingers long after the final panel.

Arm of Vengeance
7 pp · horror-suspense

In "Arm of Vengeance," hunter and safari guide Frank Meliss survives a brutal crocodile attack that costs him his right arm—only to have it replaced by a gorilla's limb bestowed by the enigmatic native wizard Lashim. As the once-honorable man descends into a life of violence and crime, the unnatural strength of his new arm becomes both weapon and curse.

Valley of the Mayan Goddess
7 pp · horror-suspense

In the heart of a forgotten Guatemalan jungle, Benedict’s jealousy leads him to a deadly gamble—driving Bill away in a remote valley he never should have chosen. There, the ancient wrath of a Mayan goddess awakens, turning his cruelty into a curse he can’t escape, while Bill’s fate takes a turn neither man expected.
