Markheim
7 pp · horror-suspense

A man commits murder in a shopkeeper's room, then descends into psychological torment as guilt—or something far more sinister—takes hold of his mind. Hewetson and Duran adapt Robert Louis Stevenson's Gothic classic into a nightmare of puppet strings and whispered temptation, where Markheim must confront not just the law closing in, but a darker force that seems eager to push him toward an even darker deed. As the walls close in and his sanity unravels, the line between his own conscience and an outside evil becomes terrifyingly unclear.

Dr. Joseph Guillotin, a French physician and statesman, designed the guillotine in 1789 as his nation's instrument of capital punishment and method of execution.

Zoo for the Beasts of the Universe

Far into the future, the citizens of Feldal City visit a remarkable zoo—one that houses a singular collection gathered by inter-space hunters across the cosmos, from the Toad-Zar of Em to the many-armed Elv of the forest planet and beyond. This exhibition of bizarre life-forms from every corner of the universe stands as both a wonder and a curiosity for anyone with the price of admission.

The Skull Forest of Old Earth
7 pp · horror-suspense

When a tribe of colonists from Uranus settles on ancient Earth, they discover the land already claims dark inhabitants—the monstrous Shoggoths, spawn of the elder gods themselves, dwelling in what will become known as the Black Forest. As the settlement descends into chaos and death, a lost child emerges from the forest having encountered something unexpected: the great apes who roam among the skulls of the fallen, suggesting a truth about humanity's own mysterious origins that science has long struggled to explain.

The 300th Birth Day Party
5 pp · horror-suspense

When a woman with terminal cancer is frozen in cryogenic suspension with her husband's fortune, she dreams of waking in a future free from his loveless marriage—but three centuries later, Walter Bierce has been waiting for her return on his 300th birthday. What begins as a desperate bid for a second chance becomes something far more sinister when science finally delivers on its promises, and Cecille discovers that some eternities were never meant to be survived together.

The Gargoyle Trilogy
11 pp · horror-suspense

In 1972, sculptor Wilbuur Kihnlar accepts a commission from Prince Karl Eitel Friedrich to create three monstrous gargoyles for a palace in Bucharest, but when he returns to his village of Dragasani to begin the work, the townsfolk blame him for the plagues, fires, and famines that suddenly afflict them. As superstitious villagers close in on his workshop, Kihnlar discovers that the gargoyles he's carving possess something far stranger than mere stone—a force that seems to drive his hands and awakens terrible life within them. "The Gargoyle Trilogy" weaves together three interconnected tales of supernatural horror, each exploring the dark price of creation and the unforeseen consequences of bringing forbidden things into the world.

The Night in the Wax Museum
8 pp · horror-suspense

On a stormy night, the master thief known as the White Cat breaks into a prestigious wax museum to steal from its eccentric creator's collection—only to discover that some of his most lifelike figures aren't wax at all, but something far stranger. As the museum's macabre displays begin to stir to life around her, the White Cat must navigate a nightmare of her own making where the line between art and reality dissolves in the darkness. A taut tale of greed and supernatural revenge from writers Hewetson and Villanova.

The Werewolf Within
9 pp · horror-suspense

A group of hunters shelters in a crumbling Southern mansion deep in the swamp, only to find themselves trapped in a nightmare of suspicion and violence when one of their own is brutally killed. As paranoia and accusations spiral, the survivors must confront a terrifying possibility—that one among them is something far worse than human, and that the cursed house itself may be transforming them from within. In this tale from *Nightmare* #9, survival means staying awake through the long, deadly nights, but even that may not be enough.
