The Dreaming by Queenie Chan
Identical twins Jeanie and Amber arrive at their new boarding school on the edge of the Australian bush to find it steeped in mystery. Vague rumors of students disappearing, sealed rooms, tight-lipped teachers, and a collection of disturbing paintings have the girls unnerved, and when they start experiencing the same nightmare, they really begin to worry. The subtle buildup of spooky tension culminates when one of the girls' friends goes missing, only to turn up dead.
Dark Horse Book of Witchcraft edited by Scott Allie
This book conjures up weird tales of horror and magic, the likes of which one seldom sees in graphic novels. Mignola returns with another Hellboy story; Thompson (Scary Godmother) and Dorkin return to their characters in the stunning "Stray" story, the surprise hit of the first volume in this series. Morse (Ancient Joe) presents an evocative and carefully researched tale of old Salem, digging into the madness of the accusations leveled there, which ended more than 30 lives in a few short months.
John Constantine, Hellblazer by Garth Ennis
John Constantine is a freelance occultist and paranormal detective in the series. Here is more of a supernatural enforcer – he enforces the balance between heaven and hell. It is pointed out that angelic and demonic forces are only permitted to influence mankind through hints and suggestions, for man has free will and must be allowed to stand or fall according to his own decisions. Whenever a spirit crosses the boundary to directly control, or harm, then Constantine sends them back – with extreme prejudice. His tool of preference is a "Holy Shotgun"...

Hellboy: Weird Tales by Mike Mignola

The Weird Tales collection gives readers old-fashioned pulp fun featuring one of the greatest heroes of modern comics.

Why? It's haunted with apparently frightening creatures putting a curse on the whole town! But when Paris actually gets to meet some of the denizens of his inherited headache, it turns out they ain't all that bad (the vamp, in fact, is quite cute), and maybe the evil is not where it may seem...
