An Eddy on the Floor by Bernard Capes offers a chilling narrative that promises to captivate fans of ghost stories.

After attending a séance at an acquaintance's home, a man receives an unexpected job offer from another guest: resident doctor at the prison he directs. However, events take a sinister turn when a prisoner, terrified of what's behind the next door, begs to have his cell moved. This peculiar request leads the young doctor to question his initial fortune.

World-renowned cartoonist Seth adds to the eerie atmosphere with three new ghost stories for 2021, crafting a gripping tale that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.
