Amazing Stories of Suspense #167

In "The House of Fear!" from *Amazing Stories of Suspense* #167 (1978), a skeptical man and his terrified companion enter a haunted house, only to be met by a ghostly figure. As the man dismisses the apparition as a trick of the mind, he reaches out to touch it—only to find the house suddenly ordinary, and himself transformed. The woman’s scream cuts through the silence, her horror dawning as she realizes the truth: the man is no longer alive, and the house has claimed him.

In "The Dragon's Roar!" from *Amazing Stories of Suspense* #167 (1978), a communist general enacts a brutal crackdown on a village celebrating the new year, turning their festive dragon float into a mobile killing machine. When the machine-gun-laden parade reaches the center of town, a real dragon emerges—leaving the soldiers to face a terror they never expected.

In "They Can't Resist!", a desperate alien from Ganymede tries to exploit human curiosity by handing a mysterious disk to a blind man, hoping the act of examining it will unleash a gas that opens the door to an alien invasion—only for the man to simply toss the disk into the river, unaware of its true danger. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this brief, chilling tale turns a simple act of kindness into a quiet victory of instinct over design.
