This issue of Bolsilibros: Selección Terror (a Spanish pulp terror anthology series) contains "Los muertos recuerdan mi nombre" by Silver Kane. The story opens with Cliff Soustelle, a Parisian court employee, pursuing his coworker Suzanne, a beauty-pageant contestant. After months of courtship and expensive gifts, he attempts to seduce her in his Mercedes convertible near an asylum. As he prepares to drive away, a corpse falls from the sky onto the vehicle—a gruesome interruption. A second narrative follows Jacqueline discovering her absent friend Patrice has mysteriously returned and arranged a funeral setup in her apartment. Upon entering, Jacqueline finds Patrice's body in a coffin; when she reaches for the telephone, the supposedly dead Patrice rises and strangles her. A third section introduces Natalie Balfour, a psychiatric patient recovering from suicidal ideation and vertigo, undergoing psychological testing involving an enlarged-image projection device displaying stimulus images—locomotives, guns, undressing women—to which she responds with single words suggesting emotional associations.
