They gave him a gift: one last chance to live out his days in comfort, far from the cold walls of his prison cell. A beautiful hospice overlooking the ocean, where the dying go to find peace. But Marcus quickly learns that some doors are better left unopened.
One Damned Good Thing is a bone-chilling horror one-shot that asks the question: what if the end of your life wasn’t an ending at all, but a beginning of something far worse?
The Story
Marcus has spent decades behind bars, watching his life slip away through iron bars. When he’s granted compassionate release to a seaside hospice, he thinks it’s finally his chance to find peace. The staff are kind. The rooms are warm. The ocean view is breathtaking.
But something stirs in the hospice’s depths. The patients speak in hushed whispers about floors that shouldn’t exist. Nurses disappear around corners that lead nowhere. And late at night, Marcus hears something moving in the walls—something that’s been waiting for him.
As Marcus uncovers the hospice’s terrible secret, he realizes his “one damned good thing” might actually be the worst curse of all. The hospice doesn’t heal—it feeds. And Marcus has become its latest meal.
Why You’ll Love This Comic
Perfect for fans of psychological horror that builds dread slowly, One Damned Good Thing delivers the kind of terror that lingers long after you turn the final page. Russell Nohelty, USA Today bestselling author of Ichabod Jones: Monster Hunter, crafts a story that’s equal parts visceral horror and meditation on mortality.
Fans of grimdark horror comics, supernatural thrillers, and stories that explore the darkness lurking behind facades of normalcy will find plenty to unsettle them here.
About the Hospice Universe
One Damned Good Thing is part of the Hospice shared universe—a collaborative horror project featuring multiple standalone one-shots from different creators, all exploring the sinister Rising Suns Hospice that exists in every country in the world. Each story stands alone, but together they paint a picture of an organization with motives far darker than simple end-of-life care.
