Contains 7 stories
Weird Wonders
1 pp · non-fiction; horror-suspense

A claustrophobic mystery unfolds when three cousins—Clifford, Warren, and Jane—inherit Galvin Manor and its rumored buried treasure, only to awaken to the house's dark history: fifty years prior, their ancestor Henry Galvin poisoned a rival with tarantula venom and was hanged, swearing a deathless curse on anyone who'd claim what was his. As the cousins begin their search in the cellar, a spectral force emerges to enforce that ancient oath, one relative at a time.

The Clutch of Doom
8 pp · horror-suspense

In the shadowed halls of Galvin Manor, a long-buried secret stirs beneath the floorboards—where treasure once lay, now only a skeletal hand reaches out from the dark. When someone dares to dig, the curse of Henry Galvin awakens, turning the cellar into a trap of bone and dread.

Ghost Town Ghost
4 pp · horror-suspense; western-frontier
Dude FenleyOld CadyPanchoSherrif (unnamed)

In the dusty silence of the frontier, outlaw Dude Fenley and his gang flee after murdering prospector Old Cady and stealing his gold—only to be haunted by a ghostly figure that derails their stolen train. As the dust settles and the rails tremble, the ghost’s presence lingers, turning the desert into a stage for a reckoning no man expected.

The Marching Dead Men
7 pp · horror-suspense; war

In the frozen reaches of Mongolia, two American pilots stranded behind enemy lines stumble into a macabre procession of the dead, guided by a mysterious shaman on a haunting journey home. As they’re drawn into the march, they must navigate the eerie silence of the undead and the shaman’s cryptic purpose—before the dead turn their path toward war.

Crypt of the Vampire
5 pp · horror-suspense · pencils Martin (signed) · inks Martin (signed)

American couple Rodney and Marlene Lawton purchase Castle Zangra, a Rumanian fortress with a sinister reputation—only to discover that two smugglers, Duresqu and Grauq, have been using the castle's crypt as cover for their operation. When Duresqu traps his partner in the tomb to claim their smuggled goods as his own, he's interrupted by something far more dangerous than he bargained for, leaving the Lawtons to uncover a darker truth than any vampire legend. Martin's artwork captures the gothic dread and dark irony of a tale where superstition masks something far more brutal.

Mirror, Mirror, On My Wall
6 pp · horror-suspense

In "Mirror, Mirror, On My Wall," antiques dealer James Garth—secretly a fixer for a drug ring—calls upon a demon to exact revenge on those who betrayed him. But when he needs the demon most, facing the king-pin of the racket, the supernatural ally refuses to appear, leaving Garth to confront the consequences alone.

Things You Should Know
0.5 pp · horror-suspense

In the Welsh hills, locals speak in hushed tones of the "Gwarch y Rhibyn"—a winged creature known as the Hag of the Dribble—said to gather stones in her apron and scatter them from the sky at dusk. When the fearsome legend becomes terrifyingly real, a young man and those around him realize they may have witnessed an omen of death itself.
