“The Coins That Came to Life”

Three men huddle tensely over a crossword puzzle board, where the word "ACCIDENT" is taking shape — and one of the players speaks with dread in his caption balloon, fearing his last letter seals his doom just like every other mystery writer who has played "Plot-O." Bill Ely's cover perfectly captures that eerie, slow-burn suspense DC's House of Mystery delivered so reliably in 1955, turning a parlor game into something genuinely unsettling. Inside, Jim Mooney brings the stories to life, including "The Tragic Game," "Coins That Came to Life," and "The Mirage Maker.
