Nightmare Novellas Pt. II

Put down your tablets and gather ‘round the campfire, kiddies! We have yet another evening’s worth of Nightmare Novellas lined up to pluck at your nerves and pique the imagination. You can always reach out for a hand to hold if you get scared… just check to make sure it’s actually attached to the person next to you!

We’re pleased as punch to present the following Drew Rausch illustrations for spooky stories that never were, in hopes that they might serve as story prompts during the long, dark nights ahead. Who are these creeps, and what do they want? Where do they go when the Halloween season ends and everyone’s rotted pumpkins are turned to compost?

That’s for you to know, and for us to find out!
