Strange Mysteries #18

In "Death Deals a Hand," a secretive club binds its members in a deadly game: each meeting ends with one person murdered, the survivor claiming the victim’s possessions. As the body count rises, Jo finds herself the last one standing—only to face a chilling reckoning when the ghosts of those she outlived return to claim their final due.

In "Heart of the Corpse," a man takes his own life after losing his job, setting off a chain of grim events: a coworker murders the cruel boss, only to be executed, and a doctor’s macabre excavation of their graves reveals a heart of stone—leading to a terrifying, unresolved reckoning.

In "Tomb for a Werewolf," a quiet tombstone carver in a remote village harbors a monstrous secret—each stone he crafts marks the grave of a victim he’s slain. When the townsfolk turn on him, setting his home ablaze, the fire reveals a chilling final act: his own tombstone, already carved and waiting.

In "Call from the Grave," a grieving widower haunted by the memory of his wife’s fatal crash is drawn into a chilling echo of that night—when a second accident at the same cliffside spot brings him back to her, not as a ghost, but as a presence he can no longer escape. The story unfolds with a quiet dread, where love and loss blur in a moment that defies the line between life and death.
