In "Nobody There!", a man’s quiet evening fishing turns to dread when his wife vanishes during a rowboat trip on a moonlit lake—only to return as a blood-drained corpse, her fate now tied to the lake’s dark secrets.

Written by Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein, illustrated by George Evans with inks by Evans and colors by Marie Severin, this chilling tale from Haunt of Fear #16 (1952) is a masterclass in suspense, with a cover by Graham Ingels that captures the dread in every shadow.
