Mystic #46

In "Waitin' for Satan!", a man with a sharp mind and sharper ambition bets his soul on a deal with the Devil—claiming he can outwit fate itself, starting with just a thousand dollars. Now, as the clock ticks and the stakes rise, he’s about to find out just how far his cleverness can take him… or how deep the trap truly goes.

In "A Little Pain Never Hurt Anybody," a dentist who refuses to use anesthesia on his patients for cost reasons finds his cold logic tested when he collapses after catching a brain surgeon flirting with his wife. When he wakes, he’s strapped to a surgical table—face to face with the very surgeon who now claims to cure his fainting spells by removing a brain clot… without ether.

In "Volcano of Vengeance," field man Tod Sloane ventures into the heart of Mount Pataxo, a dormant volcano in a remote Central American nation, drawn by the promise of ancient secrets. There, he encounters a hidden cult of goatmen and their enigmatic queen, Arni, whose people have long protected the mountain’s secrets from superstitious locals who fear the volcano’s wrath. As tensions rise and ancient beliefs threaten to consume him, Sloane must navigate both the perilous terrain and the minds of those who see him as a sacrifice—while uncovering a prize that could change everything.

In "Brother of a Monster," two brothers—one scarred and deformed, the other strikingly handsome—live in a town gripped by a string of mysterious murders. As fear spreads and suspicion falls on the disfigured brother, the truth behind the killings begins to unravel in ways no one expected.

In "Terror Tale," a vampire abducts a silent fat man and brings him before his brothers, who are stunned by the man’s unusual capture—unlike any prey the Beast-Man has ever taken. When the vampires demand his name, the man remains mute, then suddenly transforms into the Beast-Man and unleashes a shocking attack.
