An anthology of four horror tales: "The Evil Stranger" follows a woman named Helen Kay, a simple robber and murderer for hire, whose crimes catch up with her when insurance officials pursue her trail; she is destined to become "the Flame Widow," perpetually reincarnated under different names. "Blood and Old Bones" centers on a man named Luther Hunt who desecrates graves and digs up corpses to sell for money, only to be driven mad by supernatural screams from the earth. The other two stories featured are "Horror in the House" and "The Dead Speak," whose plots are not visible on the provided pages.
