Closing out the book is a one-page feature written by Mark Allyn Stewart and art by Sagovac called A Page From The Sketchbook of Rand Edmond. I thought the art was perfect for what this was; a page taken from a notebook left behind by a man who has encountered horrible monsters. Part diary, part field manual to the monsters, we are treated to some of the final words of a man who feels he will soon meet an abhorrent demise. If there was more to this, it would easily be the best piece of the anthology, but at one page it's not enough. I don't even know if it should be counted as a "4th Story," but it's there and you're better off for it because it's a good read.

I have to say that the text on this page is the best written of the entire book. It is written from the perspective of someone trapped some place using the sketchbooks as a way to stay sane and entertained, averting his eyes from monsters all around. It's a very cryptic and spooky entry that really engages the reader. I wouldn't mind seeing much more about this particular story. What little art is shown here is equally creepy and yet stunning.

This is my favorite piece of the two issues. It is a facsimile of a notebook page with notes by a person imprisoned in his house due to a siege of creatures from outside. Stewart sounds like an H. P. Lovecraft narrator describing the horrors outside with vivid, scientific detail that marks up the terror the narrator must feel. If the narrator survives, maybe there will be a second chapter, but the up-in-the-air ending maintains the tension after the end and lets the piece stick with you like an embedded claw of the very monster described.
