☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains at least two supernatural horror stories. "Revenge from the Grave" tells of a murdered man whose corpse rises from the dead, driven by rage at his former business partner Roger Barton who killed him and framed him for embezzlement; the undead killer crashes Barton's daughter's wedding but ultimately finds his vengeance thwarted when Barton dies of a heart attack brought on by joy at the celebration. "Grandma Gruesome's Dead Time Story" recounts a skeletal grandmother's tale of King Boric, a good-hearted ruler whose younger brother Stubal poisons him and attempts to take the throne, only to learn that goodness and love ultimately triumph over evil's designs.
A mountain guide harboring a dark secret—he's a werewolf—finds himself inexplicably drawn to Leona, a beautiful tourist, even as the beast within him continues its deadly rampage across the Alpine peaks. When Leona and her husband hire Franz Klepp to guide them on a treacherous climb, the werewolf's conflicting desires—for blood and for love—collide in the thin air of the mountains. As the full moon rises over Waldstein, Klepp must grapple with what he's willing to sacrifice for a woman who could never accept what he truly is.
Professor Andrew Beamish charms the entire college campus with his wit and teaching, but student Janice Lloyd finds herself drawn to him for reasons that go beyond academics—until a harrowing encounter with a mad dog reveals something unsettling about the man she's fallen for. Now married and isolated at his mountain cabin, Janice begins to discover the dark secrets her absent-minded professor has been hiding all along.
Dr. Casper Crisp lives for paleontology—his museum workshop and collection of ancient bones are his entire world—until a scheming museum board chairman and his daughter use seduction and betrayal to frame him for destroying the exhibits. When the gentle scholar's grip on sanity shatters, "The Bone Man" discovers a terrible new use for his anatomical expertise, transforming his workshop into something far more sinister than anyone could have imagined.
In the medieval kingdom of Lobodia, the gentle King Boric is murdered by his envious brother Stubal, who plots to claim both the throne and Boric's beloved Elreda for himself. When Stubal's attempts to hide the body fail and the dead king's corpse mysteriously resurfaces, the guilt-stricken usurper devises a final, twisted punishment—forcing his brother to witness the very coronation and marriage he died to prevent. A tale of ambition, betrayal, and the supernatural price of fratricide, told with Grandma Gruesome's darkly amused narration.
