Psycho #17
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Psycho #17 (March 1974) An anthology issue featuring multiple horror stories. One story depicts a grotesque game show where contestants compete in increasingly sadistic challenges for prizes, culminating in murder. Another narrative follows a police officer working the graveyard shift in a town plagued by the living dead—corpses that walk the streets at night, their minds deteriorated and violent. A third story involves gang violence and revenge, with a character planning retribution against the Angelo gang for a past humiliation involving a stolen car and drowning in the East River.
Sam Hammer, an L.A. cop, thinks he's having the worst day of his career—a botched arrest, a tense confrontation with his captain, and a deadly shootout at a counterfeiting operation that costs his partner Ed his life. But as the day spirals into surreal horror, with inanimate objects coming alive and his own funeral beginning, Sam discovers the horrifying truth about what's really happening to him. This tale of mounting dread and twisted reality delivers the kind of dark-humor gut-punch that makes this 1974 story stick with you long after the final page.
In 1926 Chicago, a low-level mobster named Skut seizes his chance at fortune when a gang shootout leaves him alone with his boss's $200,000 stash—but his hideout in an old rooming house turns out to harbor secrets far darker than any crime syndicate. When he discovers the building's ancient landlady and a basement full of decades-old corpses, Skut realizes he's stumbled into something far more sinister than a safe place to lay low.
