☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Beyond the Door" follows a mysterious narrative involving a car crash where occupants Malva and Moose are killed, with a third person escaping. The survivor must hide from authorities and visits an old woman's house seeking shelter, where he reflects on recent events. The story then shifts to a jungle sequence featuring a woman named Jungle Lili confronting a beast and a figure called the Bandza, with references to a spirit named Kookla and elaborate mystical conflicts involving sacrifice and captivity. The pages suggest a complex plot mixing crime elements with exotic supernatural or adventure themes set in a jungle locale.
In "Horror Beyond the Door," a guilt-ridden criminal joins an archaeological dig in the Middle East, drawn by the promise of treasure. What he finds instead is an ancient temple sealed behind a door said to hold Satan himself—unwittingly unleashing the demon when he opens it, only to be slain moments later. As the fallen angel prepares to escape and bring ruin to the world, a scholar’s reading of a sacred inscription awakens a divine force to seal the threat once more.
George "Buck" Kelly, his loyal pal Moose Potter, and his lover Malva spiral into a violent crime spree, leaving a trail of chaos and blood—until the reckoning comes for each of them.
In "The Lurking Ghosts," Jungle Lil and Robi uncover a dangerous ruse when treasure hunters pretend the spirit of a long-dead chief has returned to demand mining work from a village in the African jungle—only to find the truth behind the haunting is far more sinister than mere trickery. With Harrison caught in the middle, the trio must unravel the deception before the villagers are led to ruin.
