Creepy Worlds #32

In "The Strange Fate of the Statue Maker!", a brilliant but misguided inventor unleashes a device that turns living flesh to stone—intending to preserve beauty in perfect form. When his first subject proves too stunning to keep imprisoned in marble, he hesitates... only to find the machine has already claimed him.

In the frozen silence of the Arctic, a dying man whispers of an alien world glimpsed beneath the ice—his final testament to a truth his friends dismiss as delirium. As they scour the endless white, unaware that the very iceberg they study is a vast, dormant spaceship, the alien presence slips away, leaving only the cold and the weight of what might have been. Somewhere Hides A...Thing! remains a haunting blend of isolation and wonder, where the unknown is not found—but quietly, respectfully, left behind.

In "The Witching Hour!", a fugitive criminal seeks refuge in a remote village where old superstitions still hold sway. Posing as a witch hunter, he convinces a woman he meets on the train to pretend to be a witch, hoping to exploit the townspeople’s fears for profit—until her true nature is revealed, and his greed meets a fate far beyond the earth.
