An anthology issue containing multiple stories, including "The Vigilantes," which follows masked riders who execute justice on a ranch, culminating in the revelation that vigilante leader Larry Pavin wanted the land for a railroad line and orchestrated the hanging of old Tom—a story revealed through flashback to a character at the Bella Union. Another story features a man who abandons an infant he finds, only to encounter the child years later as a grown chimney sweep, leading to an emotional reunion and the man's reflection on his past and redemption. A third story involves intrigue surrounding Lady Brownhill's death from the Black Plague and a scheme to conceal her demise to protect an exposition, with a character named Barry consoled at her cemetery grave.

Professor Raoul Germaine claims to be 170 years old, and he's gathered the police and a doctor to witness an astonishing tale: 85 years ago, he perfected an elixir of youth, but the formula had a terrifying flaw—it kept reversing his age, stripping away his years until he became an infant and lost all memory of his past life. Now, on what he insists is his birthday, the full weight of those lost decades has come rushing back, and he's desperate to share his impossible story before time runs out.

The Roads We Take
6 pp · Horror-Suspense

In a remote South American town, three men—each carrying the weight of a killing from their past—converge by chance: Murray Carlson, a fugitive from a friend's accidental death; Grant Harris, who deliberately shot a man over his wife; and a third man haunted by his own violent secret. As the unlikely trio begins to rebuild their lives together, fate sets a dark trap that none of them see coming. What unfolds is a tale of how far men will run from themselves—and how the past always knows where to find them.
