☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains multiple horror and terror tales. One story follows a young woman named Lucille Garrett whose father is killed in a car accident while fleeing with a mysterious companion; weeks later, Lucille encounters her father's killer and discovers he has been cursed to wander, unable to find peace. Another narrative involves a wartime scenario where a radioactive monster terrorizes a town until it is destroyed by bombing, allowing the survivors to rebuild their lives. A third tale set in wartime involves espionage and intrigue aboard a ship, with a woman receiving secret communications and messages related to a military mission involving baronial forces and abandoned hope.
When Tod opens an old coal mine in Blue Valley, he uncovers far more than profitable seams of coal—a nightmarish creature from the unexplored depths of the earth emerges to slaughter the miners. Now Tod must protect his fiancée Prue as the town descends into chaos, the creature hunts with apparent intelligence, and desperate authorities consider unthinkable measures to contain the threat. "Horror in the Mine!" is a visceral 1952 creature-terror tale that escalates from underground dread to full-scale catastrophe.
When eccentric recluse Mr. Hilt summons doctor Grimm to investigate terrifying threats tied to a mysterious black rose, the case spirals into something far more sinister than a simple prank—a ghostly vengeance rooted in murder. As midnight approaches and the rose finally blooms under the full moon, Grimm discovers that the line between the living and the dead is far thinner than he believed. "Blood of the Rose" is a taut supernatural mystery where past crimes come calling with deadly consequences.
When boys playing in a cave near Peerless, Texas discover skeletal remains, a university anatomy expert helps the sheriff piece together clues from the bones themselves—revealing the victim's age, build, and distinctive marks. As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear the skeleton belongs to a local man who vanished months earlier, setting in motion a manhunt that will test whether the truth can outrun a desperate killer and his young companion.
When King John of England—cursed to guard the very freedoms he once opposed—possesses the body of a loyal courier, he must defend the Magna Charta as it travels across the Atlantic aboard the Ocean Queen. A cunning thief aboard the ship has her own designs on the historic document, forcing the spectral king to call upon otherworldly aid to protect England's most precious treasure. In this supernatural battle of wills, the question becomes whether even a ghost can outmaneuver human greed.
