In "The New Arrival," a chilling tale from Haunt of Fear #25 (1954), a man’s fascination with a striking new office girl spirals into a deadly mistake—though not the one you might expect. Written by Carl Wessler and brought to life with eerie precision by Jack Kamen on art and inks, with Marie Severin’s haunting colors and Jim Wroten’s sharp lettering, the story unfolds through the Old Witch’s unsettling narration. The cover by Ghastly captures the dread with a perfectly framed, unsettling image that hints at the horror within.
