House of Mystery #202

In "The Shearing of a Soul!", young William Darlton is tormented by nightmarish spirits on the stroke of midnight, haunted by a past he doesn’t remember. As the ancient servant Abener reveals the truth, William learns his mother’s dark bargain with the devil, and the terrible price paid when the pact was broken—leaving him bound to the soul of his dead father in a curse that refuses to die.

In "The Phantom on Wheels!", Ted Perry, a skeptic who exposes fake magic, gets an unexpected chance to test a mysterious car once owned by the magician Murdock. Claimed to possess three supernatural abilities, the vehicle puts Perry’s rational mind to the test as he ventures into the unknown—driving through the night with no idea what wonders or dangers lie ahead.
