After two centuries, the Duke of Allister awakens in his ancestral castle, newly reborn and immortal—but the dark magic that granted him eternal life is far from done with him. George Evans handles both art and inks, while Ed Hamilton provides the lettering; the cover, by Sheldon Moldoff, captures the gothic dread of the story’s opening moments.
In the shadowed halls of Carnoc Castle, the newly resurrected Duke of Allister—alive again after two centuries—faces a past that refuses to stay buried. As he tries to claim a new life, ancient witchcraft stirs, and the very power that revived him begins to exact its price. With the help of a sharp-eyed newspaper reporter and her skeptical colleague, the Duke must unravel the truth behind his resurrection before the curse consumes him entirely.
Karl Danner’s desperate bid to escape a fatal accident takes a chilling turn when he steals a coat from a dying man—and finds a ticket that promises passage on a ferry he never meant to board. Now trapped on a ghostly vessel bound for the afterlife, he must confront the grim reality of his choice, with only the enigmatic Doctor Feder and the watchful eyes of Alec Norden and Helene Norden to witness his fate.
Beautiful Carlotta Frawley marries Hiram Frawley, the town’s quiet undertaker, drawn by his wealth and reclusive charm. But soon, her marriage takes a chilling turn when she uncovers a terrible truth: her husband made a pact with the devil himself.
