A renowned Egyptologist returns home from an expedition abroad bearing a cursed ring and a terrifying ability to read evil in people's faces—but when he takes his own life, his children honor his dying wish and seal him in a burial cave. That night, a ghostly destroyer emerges in their town, judging the residents of Arsdale by their secret thoughts and sparing only the virtuous.

WalterKateBill HastingsJoe

When Walter and his accomplice Kate scheme to murder their way into Bill Hastings' fortune by staging a hit-and-run in a desolate country lane, they stumble upon a cemetery—and discover the body has vanished without a trace. As Kate's nerves fray and the pair descend into desperation and paranoia, they find themselves entangled with forces far older and hungrier than mere greed, bound to the unhallowed ground where Bill kept his midnight vigils.

A skeptical city visitor dismisses the Ozark mountaineers' warnings about witchcraft until he accepts a challenge to spend the night in a notorious witch's shack—only to encounter something that shatters his disbelief.

A young woman and her fiancé arrive at the isolated Whispering Gables with a dark plan—but when they encounter a ghostly apparition that warns of violent death, their scheme begins to unravel in ways neither of them anticipated.

Anne BryerDawsonGil BryerHawkinsCummings

When Anne Bryer falls into an Arctic crevasse during a research expedition, she discovers something impossible frozen in the ice—a prehistoric creature utterly unlike anything from Earth. Her husband Gil and the rest of the team decide to thaw it out for study, despite Hawkins' warnings that the being may not be dead but merely dormant, and that its true nature remains unknown. What emerges from the ice will prove far more sinister than anyone imagined, forcing the scientists to confront a threat that can take any form it chooses.

Ghost Ship of Nova Scotia
2 pp

Near the small fishing village of Merigomish, Nova Scotia, locals have witnessed an extraordinary sight every autumn for over a century: a phantom pirate ship that sails into Northumberland Strait with an eerie phosphorescent glow, reenacting the tragic wreck that sent it to the ocean floor generations ago. As the ghostly three-master strikes the treacherous rocks and bursts into flames, the spectral crew leaps overboard while a hollow voice pierces the night—and the very next day, charred wood and debris mysteriously wash ashore, proof that this is no mere mass hallucination.

Curse of the Catacombs

Greg HollandLemura

Pilot Greg Holland ditches a catacomb tour in Rome and finds himself hopelessly lost in the ancient underground tombs—until he discovers a mysterious woman named Lemura trapped behind a stone slab, who claims to have been waiting centuries for someone to free her and her companions. As Lemura's strange influence grows over him, Greg must grapple with what she's asking of him and what price his escape from the catacombs might demand.
