☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Evil Lurks Amongst Us" in Amazing Stories of Suspense #89 delivers a mind-bending twist on the classic séance trope, as a skeptical reporter’s attempt to debunk a hypnotist’s spirit channeling act spirals into a terrifying loop across time. With art by John Forte and a striking cover by Paul Reinman, the story plunges its protagonist into a disorienting journey where identity dissolves across centuries—leaving him trapped between lives, unsure of who he truly is.
When the Mighty Crusaders face twisted duplicates of their own selves, they must confront the chilling presence of the Deathless Smiler—while suspicion spreads among their ranks, threatening to tear the team apart from within.
Jo, a fugitive dictator, believes an isolated island will be his perfect escape, but when his associates sabotage the plane meant to carry him back, his refuge turns into a trap. With no way off the island and pursuers still closing in, he’s forced to confront the consequences of his choices—alone and exposed.
Jo, a convict who escaped death row, takes refuge in a haunted house nestled within an abandoned amusement park—only to be drawn deeper into its shifting, suffocating tunnels by a shadowy guide. As the heat rises and the walls seem to breathe, he vanishes without a trace, leaving no answer to what lies beyond the final door.
In "The Question That Can't Be Answered!", a skeptical reporter sets out to debunk a hypnotist’s séance act—only to find himself unexpectedly trapped in a time-loop of identity, sent 500 years forward and back again, each time losing a little more of who he once was. As the hypnotist’s performance continues across centuries, Jo struggles to grasp his true self, pleading for an answer that may not exist.
