Midnight Mystery Vol. 2
by Bernie Gonzalez, Wes Locher
Dead Letters
Gus writes Zeke a letter when he can’t reach him any other way. Zeke doesn’t respond at first. He is busy working on a case.
Zeke’s dreams are haunted by a sack of letters that never made it to their destinations. The letters were written men serving in wars. One is written to a father, another to a wife, and the third to a girlfriend. Zeke finds the mail and gets the letters to their destinations.
Zeke takes the time to write Gus but then Zeke is attacked and kidnapped.
Conrad gets a letter from his ex-girlfriend, Barbara. She is concerned for his well-being. She doesn’t know why he changed or about his new relationship with the ghost of his recently deceased father.
This feels like a prelude to something else. I still don’t feel as if I know very much about Gus. I have no idea who kidnapped Zeke or what they want. Conrad’s story isn’t over yet but what does Count Karloff want with his son?
I’m still hungry for more of this series but this chapter left me a bit unsatisfied. It felt like the connective tissue between two bigger stories or parts of a story rather than a story in its own right. Will the characters from the letters return?
