Tales from the Tomb #7

In "Three Times Dead," a one-armed man finds himself drawn to a young woman in a Louisiana mansion, but his quiet arrival stirs a dangerous devotion in her hunchbacked sister, whose love may be as deadly as the shadows that linger in the estate’s halls.

In "Fangs of Fear," two enigmatic figures circle each other on a fog-drenched waterfront, their rivalry a silent war beneath human guise. One rules the shadows as the king of the rats, the other commands the night as the king of the cats—both locked in a deadly game where dominance is won not with weapons, but with instinct and cunning.

In "Cry from the Coffin," a nameless man lies trapped in his own body after a brutal accident, fully aware as his life unravels around him—watching his unfaithful wife identify his corpse, enduring the cold precision of an autopsy, and hearing the final words spoken at his own funeral. The horror isn't in what happens to him, but in what he cannot do: scream, move, or stop the world from moving on without him.

In "The Corpse Came Home," a man and his wife are unsettled by the lingering presence of a ghost—his first wife, returned from the grave, furious that he has moved on. As shadows lengthen and the past refuses to stay buried, the living must face what the dead have come to reclaim.
