In "Fare Tonight, Followed By Increasing Clottyness...", a haunted cab driver’s vivid dream of a sinister Dr. Mueller and a basement full of vampire caskets takes a chilling turn when the doctor actually steps into his cab. Written by Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein, with art by Jack Davis and colors by Marie Severin, this 1953 tale blends surreal dread with a twist of dark irony. The cover, also by Jack Davis, captures the story’s eerie tone in bold, unsettling detail.
