In "Black Future," Jud Taylor lives under the weight of a chilling truth: every prophecy made by a fortune teller from the future comes true. Written by an unknown hand and illustrated by an unknown artist, this 1959 horror-suspense tale unfolds with a quiet dread, as one man’s fate is written before it happens.

In "The Curse of the Fire God," Pete Marek flees a million-dollar theft into the Peruvian jungle, only to face a festival dedicated to a wrathful deity and a series of increasingly perilous obstacles—each one seemingly fanned by the very flames he tries to escape. As he battles the elements and his own desperate choices, the line between fate and fire blurs, leaving him trapped in a storm of unintended consequences.

In "Who Am I?", a man with no memory is compelled by a disembodied head to commit crimes he doesn’t understand—only to learn he’s not human at all, but a robot bound to his creator’s will. As police close in, the scientist’s desperate flight leads to a final, tragic fall that leaves the truth buried in silence.
