☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains at least two distinct stories. One tale involves a woman named Alice who discovers a mirror that allows her to enter a ghost world populated by strange creatures; after being drawn through the mirror's compulsion, she finds herself trapped in this otherworldly realm and calls for help. Another story features a treasure dispute on an island where characters fight over jewels, with a vengeful eel creature emerging as a threat to those aboard a ship, forcing them to flee for their lives.
In "Prisoner of the Plantman!", a young woman fears for her father after he’s taken by the Plantman, a villain whose plant ray turns flora into weapons. With the help of Johnny, who’s been captured and freed, she rallies him to stop the criminal’s plan at the Botanical Gardens—where nature itself becomes a battleground.
In "Witchcraft in the Wax Museum!", Doctor Strange finds himself trapped in ectoplasmic form after a mysterious phone call draws him away from his body. With Baron Mordo holding his physical form captive in a wax museum and a 24-hour deadline looming, Strange must use his amulet to track Mordo’s trail through the eerie, lifelike displays. As he confronts Mordo in a battle of wits and magic, the stakes rise when Strange turns the tables—trapping Mordo outside his own body—just in time to reclaim his form. But as Mordo warns, mercy may be the one thing that seals his fate.
In this delightfully twisted tale, the Devil himself—frustrated by mankind's dwindling fear and recognition—devises a scheme to regain his power by possessing an unsuspecting human and using them as a disguise. When Ted Harper receives a mysterious phone call offering him a free house in a remote swamp, circumstances spiral into darkly comic chaos: stolen goods appear with cloven hoofprints, a thief spotted in red underwear, and eerie will-o-the-wisps dancing over the marshland. As Ted, his companion Wendy, and Karen venture into Swamp Hollow to investigate, they find themselves drawn deeper into supernatural mischief—all while the Devil's ambitious imps plot their own takeover from the shadows.
After reading a book on ghost stories from her uncle's library, Alice gazes into the mirror—and finds herself pulled into a world beyond, where the spirits of the dead live in quiet fear of the living.
In "I Went Inside the Hidden World!", a nightwatchman at a research lab stumbles upon a microscopic world accessible through a newly developed device. Drawn by curiosity, he journeys into this hidden realm, where he takes a diamond he finds—only to return to his normal size with the gem still impossibly small.
Tom Stubbs, a confident deep-sea diver, dismisses the warnings of island natives about a legendary and deadly ocean current called the Eel when he arrives in the Caribbean in search of sunken treasure. After battling giant clams and sharks on the ocean floor to reach a buried treasure ship, Stubbs discovers that the supernatural power of the Eel is far more real—and far more vengeful—than he ever imagined. As greed and violence erupt among those who would claim the treasure, an otherworldly force rises from the sea to settle the matter once and for all.
Commander Greg Whittaker is a ruthless space explorer dispatched in 2035 to make first contact with the inhabitants of the distant, unexplored planet Alisto II—confident that the natives will worship him and welcome his crew. When the expedition discovers the alien civilization venerates a golden idol of extraordinary value, Whittaker's true nature emerges, and he hatches a scheme that sets him on a collision course with forces far beyond his control. What the cocky commander doesn't realize is that his boast about being worshipped may come true in ways he never imagined.
