Author: Darren Marlar | Weird Darkness | Full-Time Voice Actor June 5, 2026 Duration: 5:30:24
“Hands of Death”: A wheelchair-bound collector of murder relics decides the only things missing from his macabre collection are a murderer and a victim — so he engineers his own killer brother's downfall to acquire both. But the dead don't always stay in their boxes, and a pair of severed hands may yet keep a promise of vengeance.
