"The Smoke Demon" follows scientist Eric Harridge, his fiancée Lovely Burnett, and medicine man Viesto as they venture into a jungle clearing where they encounter a demonic smoke entity called Mordro that attempts to drag them into its supernatural fire. "Dr. Graves: The Ghost Fighter" presents "The Lingering, Longing, of Love," in which Dr. Graves investigates a case involving a man named Howle who has been deceiving a woman by mail, claiming success while actually being a failure, and seeks supernatural assistance to resolve the situation.
Mr. Dedd welcomes you to a Georgia town plagued by deaths near Miller's Cave, where six couples have met tragic fates under mysterious circumstances—and the townfolk whisper of a curse born from an old murder. When the sheriff's own daughter falls victim to the cave's dark influence, he's forced to confront a mystery that defies explanation and venture into the cursed depths himself to uncover the truth.
A lonely boy named Mark Blake yearns for a friend and discovers a mysterious house that appears and vanishes in the empty lot next door—along with a ghostly playmate who seems just as eager for companionship. When Mark's parents dismiss what he's seeing, he must decide whether to trust his own eyes and join the boy who keeps calling him back. This 1967 tale from *Ghostly Tales* #59 explores the poignant bond between two lonely children separated by more than just the veil between worlds.
When a young man hears his dying mother's voice calling across the country, Dr. Graves—the ghost fighter himself—offers him an impossible chance: to reach her bedside one last time through the supernatural. With time running out, Howie embarks on a desperate, otherworldly journey to see his mother and set things right before it's too late.
A young man who scoffed at tales of dark magic finds himself hunted by Mordro, a supernatural force summoned from the jungle smoke by the sorcerer Viesto—and discovers too late that the apparition's true target may not be him at all. Written with letters by typeset, this 1967 science fiction tale weaves skepticism and the supernatural into a trap that one man's disbelief cannot escape.
When Eric Harridge and Elinor Burnett find themselves confronted by Mordro, a terrifying entity born from smoke itself, they must face down a creature that feeds on fear to survive. As the demon demands they surrender to his dark domain, Eric discovers that courage might be the only weapon that can turn the tide against an unseeable horror. A chilling 1967 tale of terror and defiance that proves some battles are won in the mind.
