When Peter and Anne Doyle move into an old house with the help of a G.I. loan, Anne's unease about the place and its unsettling former owner, Mr. Black, seems like mere nerves—until she discovers something horrifying hidden in the milk delivery compartment. As the couple's fears mount and Mr. Black returns with a sinister demand, Anne must confront a nightmare that threatens to unravel everything, especially Peter's fragile health.

Lee Talbot, assistant to Professor Dubrow at the Vitrex Research Foundation, stumbles upon the professor's greatest discovery—a miraculous elixir called Vril that can restore life to the dead. Consumed by greed, Talbot murders his mentor and hides the body, planning to sell the formula for a fortune, but his perfect crime unravels when the Vril itself resurrects the very man he tried to destroy. What follows is a supernatural reckoning neither man anticipated.

B.S. Fitts, the ruthless publisher of a scandal sheet, travels to a remote health resort in Transylvania for treatment—only to discover that Madame Satin's miraculous mud-bath cure conceals a sinister scheme to claim the wealth of her wealthy guests. As Fitts grows ever more enamored with the treatments, he becomes ensnared in a macabre plot that transforms his "grave rehearsal" into something far more permanent than he ever imagined.
