Nightmare #19

In a chilling reimagining of a classic tale, Sherlock Holmes investigates a series of mysterious murders in a fog-drenched swamp near Dartmoor Prison, where he confronts a monstrous hound said to be a cursed beast driven mad by starvation and rage. Though the creature attacks his companions with terrifying ferocity, Holmes must rely on his wits and courage to stop the beast before it claims more lives.

As Wilson’s life spirals into decadence and deceit, his double appears at every turning point, exposing his crimes and driving him to madness. The story builds to a final, desperate confrontation where the line between self and other blurs into something terrifyingly real.

In the remote Scottish countryside, two friends—Al Hewetson and Jose Cardona—visit the Wellach Gravesites after hearing an old man’s chilling tale of monstrous beings buried centuries ago.

In a classroom lecture, young Walter Thurber slips into a vivid daydream set in ancient Crete, where he envisions himself as Darbaras Doom, a warrior born from dust to overthrow the tyrannical Queen Melinia. As he recounts his imagined mission to dismantle her rule, the story blurs the line between fantasy and reality, leaving his teacher and nurse alarmed by his trance-like state.
