O ônibus Tatterdemon
by Steve VernonEm 1691, a cidade de Crossfall ensinou a bruxa Thessaly a morrer. Eles a espancaram, dispararam contra ela, a enforcaram - na mas nada funcionou. Quando eles finalmente tentaram enterrá-la viva, Thessaly pôs o campo contra eles. O primeiro homem morreu quando uma rajada de vento arrancou a carne dos seus ossos. Uma raiz, lançada como um dardo sujo, cortou um segundo homem. Muitas outras mortes se seguiram. O Pregador Caiu empalou a bruxa na sua própria vassoura, mas ela arrastou-o para o campo para esperar mais três séculos. Trezentos anos depois, Maddy Harker matará o seu marido, Vic. Ela vai enterra-lo no mesmo campo onde enterrou o pai abusivo anos antes disso. O mesmo campo em que o espírito regressado da Thessaly Cross está a espera. Em três dias, o Vic se levantará novamente, uma coisa de terra, osso e ódio.
