☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis is an anthology issue featuring multiple horror stories. "The Mask of the Red Death" adapts the classic Edgar Allan Poe tale, in which Prince Prospero attempts to escape a plague by sealing himself and a thousand courtiers within a castellated abbey, only to have the "Red Death" breach their sanctuary. The issue also includes a feature on classic horror films and their makeup effects, showcasing monsters from productions featuring Barrymore as Mr. Hyde (1920), Lon Chaney in various roles, Acquanetta in Captive Wildwoman (1943), Veidt in Waxworks (1924), and other vintage horror cinema. Additionally, "Tomorrow the Snowman Will Kill You" and "Jungle of the Vampire Bats" are advertised on the cover as featured stories.
In a ravaged future where Earth has been reshaped by ancient, alien forces, President Emil Watts rules over a decimated Europe, the last bastion of humanity. Amid the ruins, a young waif—starving and orphaned—begs for bread, unaware that her plea echoes through a world where the dead walk and something far older and more terrible stirs beneath the surface.
Todd Williams and Ben Mathenson venture into a frozen wasteland driven by greed, chasing the legendary Yeti in hopes of capturing it for fame and fortune. As they track the creatures through the snow, they begin to realize something deeply unsettling about the beings they’ve been hunting—and about themselves.
A young woman ventures into the South American jungle with her two children, driven by the belief that her husband, a man who vanished while searching for the mythical city of Maa-R, might still be alive. As they push deeper into the wilderness, the locals’ tales of bat-gods and cursed ruins grow more unsettling, and the family’s journey takes a surreal turn when they discover the ruins of a hidden temple. There, a mysterious book reveals a chilling truth about the city’s true nature—and their own fate.
