“I Painted Only Terror!”

In "I Painted Only Terror!", an Egyptologist named Dr. Vetry, his daughter Vera, and his assistant uncover a hidden pyramid in the desert, unearthing a mummified priest condemned to eternal life by Anubis. When the ancient being awakens and attacks Vera, the assistant defeats it with a pickaxe, only for the trio to flee the valley—though Dr. Vetry has secretly secured a parchment with the formula for eternal life. Cover by Sid Check, this 1952 Avon classic delivers chilling suspense and a haunting question: what will he do with the power to live forever?
