Peter Karnol is an elderly collector of occult books, searching for an incantation to reveal the “the other world–where the Evil Ones rule!” He finally finds The Book of the Evil Dead in a strange bookshop filled with occult tomes, and steals it instead of paying what he fears will be too high a price, outrunning the reach of the elderly Shop Keeper. Unfortunately for Karnol, the elderly proprietor of the old Salem bookstore is a “master” of The Beyond, one of several malevolent entities capable of traversing the gulf between Earth and Hell. Like Haunted’s undead Countess Siroon, the Keeper seems to be charged with guarding the portal between the two worlds. The Keeper sends his faceless minions to hunt down Karnol and drag him to The Beyond.
