Three years ago, a groundskeeper was hired at a private school in the Swiss Alps. Tall. Gaunt. Smells like wet wool. The school board says his references were impeccable. The children say he never blinks.

The Nightmare is the gardener. The children are the soil." Beside the journal, they found 47 small chairs arranged in a circle facing a single mirror. And in the corner? A janitor’s uniform, folded neatly, covered in a black, crystalline dust that forensic science still cannot identify. The Nightmaretaker vanished the night before the raid.

And the nightmares in that town have started again. Was the Nightmaretaker a serial killer who used the occult to terrorize his victims? Or was he truly a vessel—a man who opened the door to something ancient and let it rot him from the inside out?
