The seventh volume of THE HORROR ARCHIVES is about faces and nothing else: expressions, features and impossible anatomy turned into landscapes, organisms and apparitions, with six scenes per world. Nobody steals a face here; the faces change on their own.

Nightmare Faces is planned, not released. Its release details, format and price are not set yet.
