☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains two horror stories. The first story follows a blind man named Steven whose wife Diana visits a doctor for tests; Diana holds a secret that her husband is dying, and she encourages him to write a murder story, which he begins working on. The second story, "Tonight 9 Die," concerns a fortune teller and pickpocket named Charles Livin who preys on the wealthy; after a woman's death, Ezra Foxx becomes obsessed with revenge, receiving mysterious messages that compel him to murder Livin, and a supernatural presence seems to be driving him toward this violent end.
A simple factory worker named Swilbur Smith has endured years of ridicule from his coworkers—mocked for his name, his clumsiness, and the literal holes in his head from an old war injury. As the taunts mount day after day, Swilbur's patience wears thinner, and he begins to entertain dark fantasies of revenge. When he finally snaps, the consequences prove far more brutal than anyone could have anticipated.
John Durant plots the perfect murder of his wife Diana—until a shocking twist turns his carefully orchestrated crime into a nightmare he never saw coming. This 1954 tale of obsession and dark irony proves that even the blindest among us can bear witness to the truth.
When Jacob Ross casts aside the undertaker's daughter Kay for a wealthier match, her heartbroken suicide sets in motion a dark reckoning—her father, Ezra Foxx, begins a psychological campaign of vengeance that neither the law nor Ross's money can stop. Haunted by mysterious messages and the relentless specter of a black hearse that seems to follow his every move, Ross spirals into terror as the line between supernatural torment and murderous intent blurs. This tale of guilt, grief, and twisted justice explores how the sins of one man corrupt his own soul from within.
