Beware! Terror Tales #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Dry Doom," Dr. Albert Carlton takes a terrifyingly literal trip to the afterlife—drugged into a deathlike state for a brief journey into the realm of death, all as a scientific experiment. With his colleague poised to revive him moments later, the line between life and the unknown begins to blur in ways no one could predict. Cover by Bernard Baily, lettered by Ed Hamilton.
In "The Dry Doom," prospector Dusty Otis commits a brutal act in the desert, stealing a bag of gold from a dead man—only to find himself haunted by the corpse's vengeance. Trapped under a merciless sun, every attempt to quench his thirst ends in agony as water turns to sand, salt, or vanishes without a trace.
In "The Haunting White Shadow," the brutal thugs Jocko and Squash cross paths with Lady Justice in a chilling encounter that spirals into a twisted, mind-bending descent. Written by an unknown hand and illustrated by an unknown artist, this 1952 horror-suspense tale unfolds with a haunting blend of dread and poetic justice.
