Haunted Thrills #3

Officer Tim Brian's quiet patrol takes a dark turn when he discovers a corpse drained of blood near a mysterious stretch on Alder Place—a spot where even the neighborhood cats refuse to venture. Dismissed as a crank by his superiors and forced into retirement, Brian encounters a sinister stranger who lures him to a nightmarish mansion that shouldn't exist, where something far older than death itself awaits him.

As Baker pieces together clues hidden in the shop's shadows, he uncovers a web of jealousy, desperation, and secrets that someone would kill to keep buried.
