Haunted Horror #11
In "The Witches Come at Midnight!", a desperate candle maker pushed to the edge by poverty and heartbreak turns to grave-robbing to keep his failing trade alive—only to awaken something far older and hungrier than he ever imagined. Drawn with eerie precision by Jim McLaughlin, this haunting tale from IDW’s Haunted Horror series blends gothic dread and moral decay in a story that lingers long after the final page. The cover, a chilling collaboration by Warren Kremer, perfectly captures the creeping unease of a night when the dead may not stay buried.
