☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Voodoo #13 (1954) This issue is an anthology featuring two main stories. "Screaming Shoes" tells of a scientist named Max Murphy who discovers a formula to accelerate metabolism and create a superhuman being, planning to transform a woman named Cynara into a perfect robot-like creature through injections. In the second story, a man steals a wooden puppet carved by a magician named Antonio, leading to supernatural revenge when Antonio uses voodoo magic to animate the puppet as a demon that pursues the thief through the forest and into the hands of the police, ultimately resulting in the criminal's downfall as he is caught and the puppet's curse is revealed to the magistrate.
In this pulp horror tale, two pearl traders crash-land on a mysterious, fog-shrouded island in the South Pacific—only to discover it's the lair of Anthony Poindexter, a soldier of fortune who vanished a decade ago and has since turned to hunting human prey. Poindexter offers them a grim wager: survive 24 hours as his quarry in the island's jungle, and they'll earn their freedom and a fortune; fail, and they become his trophies. With nothing but knives against his guns and intimate knowledge of the island, Angus McCabe and Mike Dolan must use every ounce of cunning and wit to stay alive.
Max Murphy discovers a formula to supercharge his metabolism, granting him superhuman speed—and he can't resist testing it on everything from deer to speeding trains, earning himself the nickname "the Express Man." When his newfound power leads him to rob banks, he finds that even the fastest man alive can't outrun the consequences waiting for him on the other side.
Jeremy Poston, a beauty expert obsessed with perfection, creates Cynara—a flawless robot woman—only to watch her develop forbidden desires that lead her down a dark, destructive path. When Cynara learns what it means to be human, she'll stop at nothing to escape her artificial existence, setting in motion a tragedy that proves some creations are too dangerous to control. "They Couldn't Die!" is a chilling tale of vanity and the price of playing God, from the pages of Voodoo #13.
When a gypsy carver steals wood from the gallows where Canio was hanged two centuries ago, he unwittingly brings the cursed man back to life—not as a ghost, but as a vengeful wooden puppet with a deadly score to settle against the magistrate who sentenced him. As the small demon pursues its terrible vengeance, Antonio finds himself trapped between the creature's murderous rampage and a village that refuses to believe his warning. Watch as old grudges and dark magic collide in this tale of inescapable consequence from Voodoo #13.
