Le Manoir des Fantômes #2
"La tapisserie infernale" delivers a tense, pulse-pounding thriller in Le Manoir des Fantômes #2 (1981), a standout entry in the series' eerie anthology. Written by Murray Boltinoff and illustrated with sharp, atmospheric precision by Charles Jerry Grandenetti—whose inks and Jerry Serpe’s colors deepen the mood—this story unfolds on a quiet summer night when a chance encounter on the highway takes a deadly turn. The cover by Luis Dominguez captures the moment’s dread with striking, moody detail.
In "La peur du nombre 13," Davey, haunted by superstition, sees the number 13 everywhere—on a street sign, in a race, and in his own mind. When his friend Clem bets on horse number 13 and wins, Davey begins to question his fear, but the number keeps pulling him in, leading him to place ever-larger bets in a desperate bid to escape his dread.
In the quiet hush of a summer night, a driver picks up a hitchhiker on a lonely highway—only to find himself outmaneuvered in a pulse-pounding game of nerves. With a revolver drawn and a threat in his voice, he demands the traveler surrender his bag, but the calm autostoppeur has a different plan. As the car skids through a roundabout and crashes into a tree, the real test of who’s in control begins. A tense, swift tale of fear, instinct, and a twist of fate, told in just three pages.
