“The Head Man!”

In "The Head Man!", Ben Talbot takes in an infant found in the New England woods, raising her as his own—only to face a chilling turn when her hidden powers and rapid aging threaten to consume them both. Written by Richard Hughes and brought to life with eerie precision by Emil Gershwin, this haunting tale unfolds with a quiet dread that lingers long after the final page. The cover by Ogden Whitney captures the story’s unsettling mood in stark, expressive lines.
