Tales of Horror #8
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAn anthology of horror tales featuring "Pool of the Skeletons," in which a weekend house party becomes a supernatural nightmare when ghostly skeletal apparitions terrorize the guests; and "The Witness," in which a man witnessing a murder is silenced by an unseen killer, followed by scientist John Reid's discovery of a giant snake emerging from New York waters that he believes is connected to an experimental serum he created to combat the creature's spread across Manhattan.
In "The Slasher!" from Tales of Horror #8 (1953), a timid bookkeeper escapes his mundane reality by imagining himself as the daring heroes he reads about in the papers—until a real-life slasher begins terrorizing the city, forcing him to confront the line between fantasy and fear.
In "The Big Snake!", a desperate scientist's experiment spirals out of control when a serum, combined with blood from a different creature, unleashes a monstrous serpent capable of growing to immense size—and mimicking the intelligence of its donor. After the creature swallows its creator, it evolves into a towering, cunning force of destruction, turning its sights on New York City.
