☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue features three stories: "Rose of Doom," in which a man on African safari named Maxwell Harley becomes enchanted by a mysterious woman and attempts to stop her from leaving, only to discover she is a vampire who kills him; "Die, My Darling!," where a professor stakes a vampire in ancient battlements, leading to a confrontation between Rose and another man who accuses her of murder before they escape together to live in a castle; and "Tomb for Two," in which a chemist named Harry Pakenham seeks to stop his fiancée Elizabeth by giving her a rose, which she receives with a mysterious message leading to her being poisoned by a rose that night.
In the eerie shadows of Vampir Schloss, Professor Martin and his niece Rose take up residence in a haunted castle steeped in blood-soaked history, unaware that the baroness who claims to be the last of the von Erich line harbors a deadly secret. As strange occurrences mount and Rose begins to feel unnaturally cold, the professor’s scientific curiosity turns to dread when he realizes the truth behind the legends—and the horrifying fate that awaits his niece.
In "Tomb for Two," John’s love for his bride Elsa becomes an obsession after her sudden death. Haunted and broken, he steals her body from the grave and convinces a taxidermist to preserve her, hoping to keep her with him forever. The story unfolds as a chilling portrait of grief pushed beyond reason, where love and loss blur in a quiet, unsettling descent.
In "Die, My Darling!" from Journey into Fear #6 (1952), a man cursed by a witch doctor begins to shrink after returning to the U.S.A., forcing him to hide inside a life-sized dummy built by his wife. As paranoia and desperation take hold, he confronts the betrayal he suspects—but the truth of what happens next remains chillingly uncertain.
