Picture of Evil
9 pp · horror-suspense

Henry Cushing, a frustrated bookkeeper trapped between a thankless job and a nagging wife, discovers a mysterious painting in an unfamiliar shop—and the sinister figure depicted within offers him a Faustian bargain: fifteen years of success as a painter in exchange for a dark price. As Henry's artistic dreams materialize and his wife's death removes the final obstacle to his ambitions, he begins to uncover the disturbing truth about the painting's previous owners, each of whom vanished after exactly fifteen years.

The Violin of Death
7 pp · horror-suspense

A struggling musician named Ulrico Antonio encounters a mysterious blind beggar who offers him the chance to own a legendary Stradivarius—but the price demands far more than mere coin. Driven by obsession and armed with unholy knowledge, Antonio embarks on a dark quest that transforms him into something neither wholly alive nor dead, bound to spread his curse to others who share his desperate hunger for greatness.

The Curse of Khar
7 pp · horror-suspense

Two London thieves, Gyp and Davie, duck into a mysterious house to escape the police—only to encounter Khar, a fortune teller who sees their crimes in a seven-pointed star and curses them to die beneath its sign. After they kill him and steal the star, they find themselves hunted not just by the law, but by something far more supernatural, as Khar's vengeful spirit pursues them through the foggy streets and shadowed sewers of the city.

The Devil's Chair
8 pp · horror-suspense

Don Raphael Ortiz, a proud Spanish nobleman, brings his dying son Francisco to a remote village in the Pyrenees hoping for a cure—but when the boy succumbs to illness, Don Raphael becomes desperate enough to attempt a dark ritual at the legendary Devil's Chair, a cursed rock formation said to revive the dead through lightning and sorcery. What he awakens, however, is far worse than grief: Francisco returns, but no longer human, compelled to serve darker powers and raise corpses of his own. Now Don Raphael must race against time and his own son to destroy the chair and stop the evil it has unleashed.
