A series of bizarre slayings shocked the city. The victims were women, sliced as if by claws and savaged almost beyond recognition. This was not a normal case, and as such, the police decided it was time to call in Terror. “Terror” was a cop who had been given his nickname due to his penchant for old horror comics. Ten years ago, it had all been a joke—until he had to solve a similar case where the killer in question turned out to be a werewolf. Terror killed someone very close to the werewolf back then, and now it has returned to claim its revenge.
