In "The Dead Are Never Lonely," actress Nolita, caught in a moment of rage and tragedy, meets her end in a quarrel with her husband.

Baffling Mysteries #22
1 pp · horror-suspense

In late-19th-century Spain, portrait painter José Moran creates a painting so disturbing that it drives his subject to madness and death—and when police discover him dead before his easel, his face has transformed to match another of his sinister works. Decades later in Austria, young Dr. Carl Borge's obsession with vampire lore costs him his medical career when he's publicly humiliated at a convention, prompting him to make a desperate and catastrophic decision that unleashes something far worse than professional ruin. What begins as an attempt to vindicate himself spirals into a nightmare of uncontrollable hunger and transformation that forces Carl to confront the terrifying consequences of dabbling with forces he cannot command.

In "Beware the Graveyard Clay," sculptor Clatrow wields eerie power from clay dug from graves, using it to craft voodoo dolls tied to real lives.
