Uncanny Tales #20
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"A Bridegroom for Jenny" delivers a haunting twist on fate and justice in this standout Uncanny Tales #20 story, written by Carl Wessler and illustrated by Mac Pakula. When a detective’s coma links him to the fugitive he’s hunting, the line between pursuer and pursued blurs in ways no one sees coming—especially when the fugitive suddenly appears at the police station, delivered like a gift. Ogden Whitney’s eerie cover captures the story’s unsettling mood, making this a must-read for fans of classic mystery tales.
In a quiet moment of scientific curiosity, Otto Walden tests his time mirror on Karen, revealing glimpses of her past—each reflection a puzzle piece of who she’s become. As the mirror shows her the man she’s always admired, Otto watches closely, wondering if love can be shaped by what’s seen, not just who’s real.
In "Loom of Fate!", antiques dealer Jasper Ferall stumbles upon the enigmatic Norn sisters—Moira, Sophronia, and Tabitha—whose quiet life weaving tapestries hides a far darker purpose. Drawn by greed and curiosity, he seeks to exploit one sister’s gift for foresight, only to realize too late that some threads are better left uncut.
When Detective Phil Ryan slips into a coma, the fugitive he’s been chasing—Bob Fenton—finds himself haunted by the detective’s presence, unable to escape his shadow. The police chief, Walter Healy, is relieved when Fenton is finally captured, only to be stunned when Ryan awakens, just in time to confirm the impossible.
Dr. Clifton Forrester pushes the limits of mind and memory when he tests his theory on Willi Mueller, only to awaken something far deeper—and far more dangerous—than mere subconscious echoes. As the experiment unfolds, the lines between identity and the self begin to blur, and the presence of long-dead figures like Adolph Hitler and Edward Teach stirs unease in the lab.
