Entry 6 2026
Guests have noticed that Ashley has been acting very weird for a waitress working at Campbell's Dine-In, especially around the graveyard shift. It doesn't help that the diner has a bit of a roach problem. Nobody is comfortable around those pests... except for Ashley.

Entry 5 2026
It was a misty night, and something undead has risen; It wasn't a ghost, nor a zombie, but someone who came back much stronger. Gunvald the Wrathful was the leader of a gang of vikings who was killed during a betrayal. He seeks vengeance, and he knows who killed him.

2025
This was a rather bittersweet year for The Deadman’s Journal Showcase. Due to troubles behind the scenes, a decision was made to make it a rerun of 2024 with a few new additions. Without this year, the anthology wouldn’t branch out to Insta nor bsky.
