Welcome to our Fiendish Father’s Day issue! This is where the neckties are tight, the memories are buried, and Dad always knows best—even from beyond the grave. This month, we honor the patriarchs who taught us how to ride a bike, tie a noose, and fear the dark. Fathers are often the quiet architects of our childhoods with their steady hands, deep voices, and watchful eyes. But what if those eyes never stopped watching? What if his presence still lingered in the hallway after bedtime, long after he should have gone? In this issue, join us in exploring the darker side of devotion, the silence between footsteps, and the kind of love that leaves a mark.
