Tales of the Unexpected #14

In "The Forbidden Game," Alex Denton is granted immense power by a sorcerer—on one condition: never ride in a vehicle of a certain color. When Denton outsmarts the sorcerer into revealing the forbidden shade, a sudden accident leaves him color blind, and in his altered vision, he unknowingly climbs into a car of that very color.

In "Cry, Clown, Cry," Tom Grayson inherits more than a patchwork suit and a painted smile—he takes on a family curse tied to generations of circus clowns. As he grapples with the weight of tradition, a quiet moment of self-acceptance becomes the key to breaking the spell.

In a tale of greed and myth, a desperate criminal flees with a forged sword of King Arthur, only to lose it in the sea after a deadly betrayal. When he dives to retrieve it, he discovers the real blade beneath the waves—its ancient power cutting through his air hose and claiming his life.

A desperate blackmailer flees from a green gorilla he alone can see—haunted by the creature that stalks him after stealing a mystical Tibetan statue from one of his victims. The line between fear and madness blurs as the gorilla’s presence grows more real with every step he takes.
