Black Magic #5

Black Magic #5 is an anthology featuring multiple supernatural tales. One story involves a boy who has fallen into a trance and appears to be channeling messages from the dead, alarming the adults around him. Another story centers on a man named Richard who becomes entangled with a mysterious woman named Barbara, who may not be entirely human, after she appears at his home and refuses to eat or sleep for days. A third story features a character named Dorian and a ventriloquist's puppet that seems to take on a life of its own, with Dorian's act becoming disturbingly realistic and leading to his dismissal from a theater engagement.
