In "Somewhere Lurks a Thing!", a scholar haunted by dreams of the French Revolution’s guillotine finds himself caught between past and present when a rival attempts to steal his research. With only a mysterious talisman to shield him, he confronts a nightmare that blurs the line between memory and madness. Art by John Tartaglione, with a chilling cover by Robert Q. Sale, this 1954 tale delivers a creeping sense of dread in a story where the past isn’t just remembered—it’s alive.
