Comments: "A Friend in Me"
What if Toystory was a horror story. Ok this story is just weird but in a good way. It has a surprising surprise. The art is cute with a morbid twist to it. It will have you thinking and a little afraid for your toys.
"Forever Young"
This story is a play on IT and Peter Pan. It is done very darkly. We do see a bond between a brother and sister and that it is tested. You will feel the mother's terror. The art suits the story beautifully.
"Mindgames"
The Commander is a super-hero and Medusa a super villain in Dusk County. Here we see a hero who has been pushed to far and pushes back. He does what he thinks is fair and just. By doing so he becomes a dark reflection of himself.
"Just Right"
A woman out in the county stumbles upon a family of werewolves. The scene is one of bloody slaughter. This one has a cute ending you will not see coming.
These stories are full of twists and turns with a dark evil lurking within the pages. That evil stands ready to jump out at you.

Comments: "A Mother's Love"
A babysitter does want to protect her charges and she does go to great lengths to do so. The only question is who should she be protecting them from. The art has a nice weird touch to it making the characters seem other worldly.
"Niki"
Dogs do have good senses about things and about people. Niki now is a dog who finds himself in a situation that he handles well. Those around him do not do as well. The creature art is a bit disturbing.
"No Longer"
Imagine the Hat in the Cat meets Alice in Wonderland with a dark twist as they meet Nightmare on Elm Street. All these combining are guaranteed to be the stuff of the weirdest nightmare ever. The art delivers that same dark weirdest as well.
"The Toy Box"
Even a toy store especially in Dusk County can be a thing of fear. Also stepping through a door you never know what you will find on the other side.
"Turn Back"
Entering Dusk County should be more than enough to get you to turn back and leave it if your smart if not good luck your going to need it.
These are twisted dark tales of weird horror that will touch your dark heart or rip it out.
