☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Horror in the Graveyard" delivers a chilling early tale from 1952, where a building manager’s routine day takes a sinister turn when a ghoul insists on renting the elusive 13th floor—despite the building’s claim that such a floor doesn’t exist. Written by Paul S. Newman and illustrated with eerie precision by Dick Ayers, with inking by Ayers and Ernie Bache, the story unfolds through a tense, escalating encounter that blurs the line between reality and the supernatural. Sol Brodsky’s haunting cover captures the dread of the unseen, perfectly framing a tale where the elevator doesn’t just carry passengers—it traps them between worlds.

A building manager is approached by a ghoul who wants to rent the 13th floor. He says there is no 13th floor but the ghoul threatens to kill him if he refuses the month rental and he draws up a lease. The 13th floor only appears when the ghoul's associates enter the elevator but is unseen by humans. The manager demands to see the space and is delighted to discover it exists, seeking to rent it out. The ghoul explains the floor does not exist for humans but the manager refuses to pay heed. Once the elevator door shuts the manager's body becomes suspended in-between the 12th and 14th floors.
