This issue contains an anthology of supernatural tales. "The Face in the Shroud" follows a woman named Helen who enters a trance state and peers into a crystal ball, where she witnesses a ghostly figure and receives a mysterious warning to "keep looking closely." "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.
