Haunted Horror #21
In "Heart of the Snow Maiden," collector August Lamont becomes obsessed with a forbidden Chinese "book of the dead," driving him to murder two dealers in a desperate bid to possess it. As he opens the tome, he’s haunted by visions of past atrocities—each one more terrifying than the last—until the final image reveals a shocking glimpse of his own demise. Art by Charles Nicholas brings a haunting, atmospheric dread to the tale, while Dick Beck’s cover captures the story’s chilling essence.
