"The Soul Stealer" opens with a psychiatrist, Dr. Gordon, recounting a story to a female patient about a man named David Fleming who ventured into an ancient oak grove seeking adventure and encountered the mysterious curse of Glanamor, a centuries-old mystery involving missing bodies and voices of the dead that warn of an unknown danger lurking within the castle grounds.

In "Return Engagement," the ghost of Zucardo, a once-dead marionette performer, summons his criminal wife Mae to the decaying stage of an abandoned theatre—where their past betrayal now takes a terrifying, personal turn.

In "The Soul Stealer," careless tourists David Fleming and Ann Jordan stumble upon a voodoo ritual that sets off a terrifying chain of nightmarish visions and waking dreams. Seeking answers, they turn to psychiatrist Dr. Gordon—only to find their ordeal spiraling deeper into the unknown, as one of them begins to slip away, body and mind.
In "The Last of Glanamores," Hugh Glanamore returns to his ancestral castle in Scotland, only to find himself haunted by the spectral remnants of his bloodline.
