FROM THE DARKEST SHADOWS OF THE PAST, THEY ARISE AGAIN TO SEDUCE AND DESTROY The old abbey forgotten in the English hills seemed like nothing more than a new toy to billionaire Nick Nicarides - especially when he found it contained the life-size sculpture of Naamah, the Queen of Hell. Her enticing smile promised him untold ecstasies and dark delights - and the old legends whispered that she might live again, if the proper spell was found. So Nick bought the abbey and had it transported, stone by stone, to his home in the old New Jersey city of Fenwood, and its fatal convergence of three...

GASLIT GHOULISHNESS IN STEAMPUNK LONDON While investigating a simple case of grave-robbing, the lovely and lethal secret agent code-named the Wanderer stumbles across a bizarre experiment in reanimation conducted by a warped scientist named Streges - an authentic genius with an equally authentic hatred of the British Empire.

Remember DR. STRANGE, the groovy Master of Mystic Arts? With his lover, the slave-princess Clea; his mentor the Ancient One; his loyal servant Wong; his arch-enemies Baron Mordo, Nightmare, and the Dread Dormammu, the Sorcerer Supreme flourished in Marvel Comics in the sixties and seventies, and made a comeback in the nineties. Well, these characters ain't them, folks.

The nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat, never-before-revealed...

Where does darkness end and light begin? Why, in the shadows, of course - and this collection begins in the darkest of shadows, where unearthly horrors slink and prowl, flesh creeps, and blood congeals at the touch of hellish talons. That's our first course. But don't worry; we wouldn't dream of leaving you with frozen blood. For dessert, we skew those selfsame shadows to show the lighter side of the dark side . . . - The nightmare was stuck in his head - but it wasn't content to stay there. Not when there was so much else to eat . . . - It was a lush green planet thousands of light-years...

What makes a man into a monster? Prince Dracula, Scourge of the Turks, is a gruesome enigma to his subjects, as well as to his enemies and the spies of his "allies" at his court.

These flaws motivate Dracula's attempts to control his treacherous nobles, the boyars, while simultaneously fighting off the enemy nations and faithless allies that...
