☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Death Is a Typewriter," archaeologist Egon Allov ventures into the forgotten pyramid of Neron-Alak, only to find himself trapped and forced to awaken its ancient, long-dead ruler. Written by Allyn Brodsky and illustrated by Jay Hawk with inks by Barry Smith, this chilling 1975 Marvel tale unfolds in eerie silence, where every step echoes with dread. The cover by Ed Hannigan and Bernie Wrightson captures the story’s gothic unease in stark, haunting detail.
In "Desert Scream!!," archaeologist Egon Allov ventures into the forgotten pyramid of Neron-Alak, driven by greed and the promise of buried treasure—only to find himself trapped in a tomb that’s been waiting for centuries. When he awakens the long-dead monarch sealed within, he realizes too late that some secrets should stay buried.
In "The Moving Finger Writhes...!", a desperate man stumbles upon a strange book that eerily predicts his fate—turning his luck around by revealing future horse race winners. As he climbs from poverty to wealth, he grows uneasy when the book’s pages begin to fade at a construction site, where a sudden accident ends his life. Now, the book lies in the hands of a worker who, with growing dread, realizes it’s begun to write his own story.
In "To Sneak... Perchance to Scream!", a haunted house with a mind of its own turns against a pair of Soviet spies using its walls to build a device meant to destroy a nearby plutonium plant. As the structure awakens, it summons storm forces—wind, rain, and lightning—to dismantle the intruders and itself, turning the very building into a weapon of vengeance.
In "One Little Indian!", a greedy businessman haunted by a gypsy’s prophecy begins seeing Native American figures everywhere—each sighting sending him into a frenzy. As his paranoia grows, he finds himself trapped in a collapsing elevator, clutching the ashes of an Indian Ambassador, when the truth of the curse finally catches up to him.
