Frankenstein #1 (29)

In "Entranced," the Frankenstein monster finds himself drawn to the grief-stricken widow Mrs. Borgo, his strange affection leading him down a dangerous path when her son falls ill. Trapped in a tense game of survival and deception, she pretends to be unwell to lure the doctor, while the monster, torn between his monstrous nature and a flicker of compassion, watches. The story unfolds with quiet dread, as one man’s desperate hope and another’s reluctant mercy collide in the dark.

In "Modern Achilles," convict Jim acquires a secret formula from a fellow inmate—a scientist with a dangerous breakthrough. After his release, Jim uses the formula to render himself invulnerable, turning to crime with reckless confidence—until one fatal mistake exposes his one weakness.

In "Clinging Corpse," a man released after two decades behind bars sets out to settle an old score, only to find his revenge trapped in a chilling embrace. When the corpse of his former captor refuses to let go, the weight of the past drags him under as the tide rises.
