This is my third trip into Nightmare Abbey and much like Volumes 1 and 2, it is loaded with well-crafted tales and ghastly good times.
As with previous volumes, the artwork is gorgeous and the stories are imaginative and chilling. In the midst of these tales, there is also a bit of nostalgia as we revisit a classic and underrated horror movie "Burn Witch Burn" in glorious still shots from the film.
A few of my favorite stories were...
Nights of No Moon by Steve Duffy in which a happy family is torn apart when mom comes back from a mishap in the woods.
In Seeing Is Believing by Helen Grant, a woman escapes an abusive relationship with a little help from some unusual friends.
Feelings of regret send a man to visit the abandoned home of his childhood girlfriend in The One That Got Away by Gary Fry. Unfortunately, those regrets will only increase after this visit.
A man recalls a particularly hot summer from his childhood that has impacted the rest of his life in That Maddening Heat by Ray Cluley
In An Absence Of Malice by John Llewellyn Probert, a man suffers a set of strange occurrences after an accident and so do those around him.
In Lost River Boys by David Surface The parents of missing boys find a way to comfort themselves, leaving gifts for their missing children. But a gift from one mom tops them all.
I enjoyed all of the stories but those were my absolute favorites.
If you are in need of a shivery chill on these hot summer days skip the beach and take a day trip to Nightmare Abbey.
5 out of 5 stars
