The Beyond #27

In "Haunt of the Howling Head," Kip Hunter returns from Borneo carrying a box of preserved severed heads—each a grim reminder of his past deeds. Now, haunted by the very trophies he brought back, the heads stir to life, turning the hunter into the hunted in a chilling pursuit through shadowed halls.

In "Fangs of the Fiend," a jealous dentist exacts a monstrous revenge by replacing his rival’s teeth with those of a dog—unwittingly transforming him into a werewolf. After the beast is captured and stripped of its fangs, the doctor’s triumph turns to horror when he’s bitten in turn, setting his own fate in motion.

In "Catastrophe, Inc.," a desperate newspaper reporter named Elliot Burke, already writing his own obituary, stumbles upon a mysterious man with a magic mirror that reveals the future. With the mirror’s eerie foresight, Burke lands exclusive stories—until his recklessness catches up, making his pre-written death notice more than just a grim joke.

In "Strange Potion of Dr. Lorch," a timid scientist is transformed by a mysterious elixir into a primal force of violence, hunting through the night with superhuman strength. When his rampage leads him to a circus, he confronts a towering gorilla—only to discover it’s not the beast he expected. The story’s eerie tone and shocking metamorphosis are brought to life with stark, expressive art.
