After dying in a freak accident, Matt Cahill inexplicably "wakes up"
three months later with the disturbing ability to see things--terrible
things--that others cannot. Drafted as a warrior in the battle between
good and evil, Matt will stop at nothing to destroy the malevolent Mr.
Dark. In The Dead Man Volume 4, a trio of sinister new stories tracks
the reluctant hero on his nightmarish quest.
On a quest to find a kidnapped child, Matt discovers an underworld of
people with uncanny powers living in the shadows of New York City,
trying to elude a ruthless force that's vowed that the Freaks Must
Die. Matt must run a deadly race against time to save the child, and
the entire "freak" community, from bloody annihilation.
Matt goes to a town where all the cops are corrupt Slaves to Evil,
terrorizing everyone and allowing crime to run rampant...but before he
can battle them, he's shot by a gun-toting teenager out to avenge Matt's
killing of her brother. Now Matt is trapped between hordes of deranged,
killer cops and an innocent girl hell-bent on revenge.
The re-release of a cheesy 1970s zombie flick is sparking horrific
bloodshed whenever it's screened...and Matt Cahill is determined to stop
it. His quest takes him to a grindhouse theatre in L.A., where a
screening of The Midnight Special begins a night of unmitigated terror
that will either put an end to Mr. Dark's reign of evil...or mark a
blood-soaked new beginning.
