Penciled and inked by the Iger Shop, this eerie tale blends Southern Gothic dread with supernatural retribution, all rendered in the stark, expressive style of the era.
In the sweltering bayous of 1954, Jake Kern’s greed leads him to murder for rare pelts—then to silence a witness, Belle, by tossing her to the alligators. But death doesn’t end her story: haunted by betrayal, Belle rises as a vengeful spirit, stalking the swamp with a fury that no swamp creature can match.
In "Evil Disguise," Sam tries to prank his friend Tom by staging a spooky scare at a cemetery, hiring actors to dress as the undead. But when the costumes come to life in ways no one expected, the line between performance and terror begins to blur.
In "Death's Rehearsal," Peter Edson meticulously plans the perfect murder of his wife, enlisting his trusted attorney, Tom Ferris, to help stage the crime. But as the scheme unfolds, a chilling question lingers: does Edson realize Ferris is the man his wife has been seeing all along?
