ENTER A DIMENSION OF THE IMAGINATION

Rest your weary head at the Macabre Motel, but once you check in, can you ever leave?

This month CEX is proud to release three new titles!

First it’s the bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded with a full count! Read on in Honcho #2 as our hero plays an epic game of baseball where the stakes are life or death!

Next it’s the emotional conclusion of Past the Last Mountain as the creatures’ journey comes to an end!

And finally, following in the footsteps of The Twilight Zone,House of Mystery and The Lost Room comes The Macabre Motel, an eerie tale of horror that will haunt your head the day after.

“The Macabre Motel plays with our fear of the unknown. Being in a place where you don’t know your surroundings or the people around you can put you on edge.” – James Ferguson, Horror DNA.
