Sicilian Weird Tale

Sicilian Weird Tale is an anthology divided into three interconnected stories inspired by figures and legends from Sicilian folklore, reimagined through a horror lens.

The Abyss
In a peaceful coastal town in Sicily, the writer James Campbell embarks on a quest for the truth behind his wife's drowning, uncovering the obscure connection to the legend of a mysterious sea creature.

Manna from Hell
Giulia is a lonely young girl who lives in a remote countryside cabin with her grandfather Giuseppe and his dog. Bullied and isolated at school, she vents her anger and frustration on the toads she finds in the nearby streams. But an unexpected encounter with a nymph will change her life forever.

The Chosen One
Tasked with retrieving a shipment of cocaine from an Albanian clan on behalf of a powerful Mafia boss, Domenico and Carmelo find themselves trapped inside a decaying palace overrun by the undead. As if that were not enough, they are relentlessly pursued by the terrifying spectre of the Headless Black Horse.
