Beware #7

In "The Life of Riley," a fugitive bank robber named Riley flees with $60,000, seeking refuge with a woman known only as The Duchess, hoping her connections will help him disappear—though trust is a fragile thing when the law is closing in.

In "Guest of the Ghouls," Jo, a reckless grave robber, ignores warnings and ventures into a forbidden mausoleum, only to awaken a horde of ghouls from their slumber. When the creatures seize him, he barely escapes—only to confront the caretaker, who reveals a chilling truth: he is Death himself. The story’s eerie tone and stark, haunting visuals make it a standout in the anthology’s eerie lineup.

In "Heads of the Dead," Harwood’s defiance of a witch doctor’s sacred taboo leads to a chilling transformation that tests his fate across three animal forms—each one ending in death at the hands of his own companions. When dawn breaks, the curse lifts, but the tiger he killed returns, driving him to a deadly end in an elephant pit.

In 1954’s "Black Death" from Beware #7, plague-ravaged Medieval Paris becomes a death trap as guards seal the city’s gates. With no way out, Michel and Denise face a desperate choice—when a noblewoman’s casket is readied for transport to Argentueil, Michel forces open the coffin, swaps the corpse for Denise, and sends her away in a bid for survival. That night, as the barge drifts down the Seine, Michel learns the truth behind the girl’s burial, leading to a final, tragic decision.
