Creepy Worlds #203

In a haunting tale set along the Rhine, a greedy 18th-century burgomeister builds a tower to collect tolls and host a grand party to elevate his status—only to find his guests are not who he expects.

Mr. Dedd warns that even centuries later, the tower still echoes with the sounds of a man who thought he could escape justice.
