Bert's Curious Dilemma
A reporter for the Milwaukee Sentinel stumbles across what appear to be unrelated, grisly murders in Wisconsin. He connects the killings before the police and sets out to solve the crimes and score a Pulitzer. Little does he know he would be tracking down a Wendigo that was bent on exacting revenge for a brutal crime committed over a century ago.
Big Jim Morgan's Thrills & Chills
A puppeteer at Big Jim Morgan's traveling carnival becomes the suspect in the murders of young women in towns where the carney performs. He's the perfect fall guy for someone out to steal his act and his lovingly, handmade puppets. But the puppets exact revenge for their father's imprisonment during their final, shocking performance.
The Strange Happenings at Stateville
Walt Jakius is a long time warder at the Stateville Penitentiary in Joliet, Illinois. He's called the Boogeyman by the inmates due to his severe disfigurement during the Korean War. Working the midnight shift, he encounters strange, inexplicable events that start off innocently enough, but then culminate in the sightings of wraiths, the souls of former inmates that died in the prison. He concludes these are malevolent spirits of such infamous guests as Richard Speck and Leopold & Loeb. Young boys are being murdered in Joliet and he knows who or what is responsible. But who would believe his incredible story? He plans to kill the doppelgangers once and for all. But his plan doesn't quite work to plan.
The Sad Tale of Klowntown
Baraboo, Wisconsin and Sarasota, Florida are the last refuges for America's clowns and the traditions of clownery. 2020 was the tipping point for the entertainers of the young and old alike. The numerous, ersatz clown sightings had scared the public and created panic in many communities across the US. So much so, that legitimate clowns of all stripes were now ostracized and harassed, causing virtually all of them to lose their jobs. Worse though was the organized vigilante group dubbed the Haters that sprung up to eliminate the clowns while law enforcement authorities looked the other way. Now a showdown was about to begin in Baraboo and the fate of American clownery hung in the balance.
