☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Payment in Full!" kicks off with a chilling twist in New Orleans, where a stranded couple stumbles upon an old mansion and a ghost with a dangerous request: deliver proof of his murder to the police. Written by Robert Bernstein and brought to life with moody precision by artist Ray Willner—whose inks deepen the dread—this tale spins a tense web of temptation and deceit. The haunting cover by Matt Baker, a standout from the era, captures the story’s eerie elegance.
In "Payment in Full!" from Amazing Ghost Stories #15 (1954), a stranded couple seeking shelter in a decaying New Orleans mansion are approached by a spectral figure with a chilling request: deliver proof of his murder to the police. As the man begins to see a way to profit from the ghost’s plea, the line between justice and greed starts to blur—leaving both the living and the dead caught in a dangerous game.
In "The Stalking Doom," a desperate actor inherits only $400 from his wealthy aunt after her sudden death—far less than he expected. Now haunted by the eerie presence of her cat, he begins to suspect the animal is more than just a pet, as strange accidents start to close in on him.
"Out of the Unknown" dives into the strange and unexplained with a curious look at real-life oddities from history—like a man whose dreams predicted horserace winners and another who swore he’d never be buried beneath growing grass. A brief but fascinating glimpse into the mysteries that defy logic, all drawn from the pages of Amazing Ghost Stories #15 (1954).
In "Wings of Death!", a hunter's deadly shot at a rare snow eagle—venerated by the local people as the king of birds—triggers a terrifying swarm of avian vengeance. As the forest itself seems to turn against him, the man faces a wrath as relentless as the winter wind.
Fleeing murder charges in the States, Jim Wolfe takes refuge at a coffee plantation deep in the Haitian jungle, where an old friend offers him shelter—but warns him to stay clear of the natives and their voodoo practices. When Wolfe hears tales of buried treasure hidden by the brutal King Henri Christophe I in a secret tunnel beneath the ruins of his palace, greed overcomes caution, and he ventures into the darkness to claim the gold. What he finds in the depths of the citadel is far more terrifying than any earthly danger.
