What does a telepathic, parasitic creature with tentacles, a
moonlit-eyed stalker who murders his victims with a pair of
scissors, and a retired professional wrestler who pieces together
mysterious puzzles in order to ward off an ancient evil force, all
have in common? They're just a few of the unique characters inside
this ambiguous collection of ten novellas called Midnight World.
In the first of two short stories horror stories, "Warface," urban
legend has it that eons ago Samuel Ketchum killed and tortured
countless Indians on remote Indian Island. Not even women and
children were spared. Years later, tales of bizarre disappearance
and drowning surfaced. Locals tell of a tribal witch doctor Ketchum
burned alive on that very island and speculate he now roams the
land seeking vengeance for his death by collecting innocent souls
for eternity. He is Chief Warface, and he's out there haunting
Indian Island. In the story "Links to My Past," while visiting a
graveyard during a class trip to Old Bethpage Village Restoration,
a group of students notice the name on a headstone is the same as
one of the students'. That student, Richard Valentine, starts
having dreams and goes back to the time dated on the tombstone of
1887. This cemetery contains graves of the unwanted; murderers,
rapists, and those possessed by witchcraft. What Valentine sees
changes him forever.
