The cover, by Sheldon Moldoff, captures the dread with a haunting, shadowed figure emerging from the swamp’s mist.
Goldie Ricon, fleeing death row, finds himself trapped in the cursed Skontong swamplands, where a zombie bite sets off a terrifying spiral of hallucinations and dread.

In "The Ghost of Fanciful Hawkins!" a country boy’s tragic death at the hands of a bullying rival sets a haunting in motion—his ghostly presence, marked by oversized shoes, begins to stalk the killer, turning the tables in a chilling, supernatural reckoning.
In the eerie quiet of a forgotten town, four carnival workers—Eddie, Mike, Joe, and Pete—seek shelter in an abandoned house whispered to be haunted by a vengeful spirit. Drawn by the promise of a cheap night’s rest, they soon find themselves trapped in a nightmare where the past refuses to stay buried.
