Plot summary
Colin Childress is a successful comic book artist and the creator of Cellar Dweller, and his ideas come from an old book filled with horrific drawings. In his basement studio he works from that book, and an evil spirit answers. Decades on, the building is a small art institute, with the stern Mrs. Briggs in charge, and Whitney Taylor arrives there as a student. Down in the cellar she digs through sealed boxes, where supernatural forces still lie trapped. Whitney is a comic book artist herself, and her pages open a way back for the monster Childress once called up.
