☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains multiple horror tales. "Little Coffin That Grew" follows a woman whose husband has died in Korea; when she discovers a mysterious growing coffin in a cemetery, she uncovers a supernatural threat tied to a green-skinned creature. "Ghost of the Un-Dead" tells of a grave-digger in Tripoli who unearths the corpse of an American named Sgt. James J. Allen and encounters a vengeful undead being that kills those who disturb its rest. The issue also features a story involving Dr. Luther, a scientist who claims to have evidence proving the existence of an Indian demon supposedly buried on an old hill, though his colleagues initially dismiss his theories as fantastical.
In "If the Coffin Fits..Get In!", two brothers find themselves drawn to a hauntingly enigmatic woman at a funeral, setting off a chain of eerie events that lead them to a curio shop and a pair of unsettling miniature coffins—coffins that begin to grow in ways no one can explain. The story unfolds with a quiet dread, its unsettling atmosphere amplified by the mysterious hand of Palette’s art and the stark precision of Leroy lettering.
In "The Horror of Van Mort," John Harvin waits alone in a haunted house, drawn by the promise of a ghostly encounter. When three city friends arrive to prank him with a joke, their laughter turns to dread as the house itself seems to awaken—proving that some legends are more real than they should be.
In "Terror of the Ancient Skeleton," Dr. Luther’s reckless excavation of a burial hill unleashes an ancient curse tied to the bones he disturbs. As the skeleton’s mystical power begins to manifest, he finds himself trapped in a nightmare of escalating dread—where every move may be his last.
