The Book That Haunts Me”
After finding a blank journal in a funeral home, Jeff’s daydreams take a dark turn.
When he’s home or at school, he thinks about what creatures live in the woods outside his windows. When he’s with his little half-brother, he imagines a baby that growls like a monster.
He blacks out, and when he wakes, he realizes that he wrote a horror story in the journal. As more stories fill the pages, Jeff becomes scared of the tales he’s spinning, and he’s also frightened of this own imagination. How could he come up with such disturbing ideas?
As he learns what the journal is doing to him, he comes to understand the true power of horror.

“Hero Of The Day”
A collection of four superhero-style stories are illustrated by four artists in this comic book.
