Horror Tales #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Ghoul Without Pockets" delivers a chilling twist on betrayal and vengeance in this 1970 Eerie Publications standout, where a scorned man’s quest for retribution leads him to a hidden witches’ Sabbath. Antonio Reynoso’s stark, expressive art brings the eerie atmosphere to life, while Bill Alexander’s haunting cover captures the story’s unsettling tone.
In "Witches' Nightmare," a man consumed by betrayal stumbles into a hidden coven during a witches' Sabbath, where he hears a chilling promise: that whatever evil he plans, no mortal hand can harm him. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story unfolds in six tense pages of creeping dread.
In "Carnival of Terror," a hula dancer and her lover plot to eliminate the snake charmer at the traveling carnival, hoping to seize his hidden fortune—only to find the night’s illusions are far more dangerous than they imagined. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story unfolds with creeping dread beneath the glitter of the midway.
In "Screams in the Swamp," a newlywed couple settles into a remote house, but the husband begins to question his sanity when he starts dreaming of a ghostly woman claiming to be his lost lover—her whispers echoing through the swampy dark, blurring the line between memory and nightmare. The story unfolds with quiet dread, where every creak of the old house feels like a confession.
In "The Slimy Gargoyle," a couple’s evening at a mysterious Chinese restaurant takes a chilling turn when the proprietor, peering into their tea leaves, warns them of the dark man and the teeth of the dragon—words that linger long after they leave the dimly lit dining room. Written by an unknown hand and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story unfolds with quiet dread, where every shadow seems to breathe just a little too close.
