# Voodoo #5 (1953) This anthology issue contains at least two stories. "Death Light" concerns a mysterious curse affecting a lighthouse beacon that lures screaming men to their deaths in the water below, with a group of men attempting to row to safety while pursued by an unseen force. The second story features a man who marries a woman named Cynthia, only to discover she has poisoned him through his tea; after her death, he becomes obsessed with her memory and inherits her wealth, eventually descending into madness as he questions his wife's sudden death and contemplates her ghost haunting him.

Contains 4 stories
Corpses of the Jury
8 pp · Horror-Suspense

A Nazi war criminal who escaped justice, Colonel Karl Bucher now hides in New York under an assumed name—but he's made a terrible mistake in keeping a gruesome souvenir from the camps. When the vengeful dead begin to rise from their unmarked graves, Bucher finds himself cornered by the spectral jury of his victims, and there's nowhere left to run in this 1953 horror tale of supernatural reckoning.

Death Light?
6 pp · Horror-Suspense

A lighthouse crew tasked with tending Breakers Light discovers the post comes with a terrifying curse when men begin vanishing into the night—seemingly drawn by an otherworldly glow that rises from the dark waters below. As one by one the keepers disappear, the sole survivor finds himself trapped, desperate, and face-to-face with a phantom from the lighthouse's haunted past. Can he escape the "Death Light?" or is he destined to become another victim of whatever dwells in those brooding depths?

Ghoul for a Day
7 pp · Horror-Suspense

Cynthia Morris marries Rodger Baxter expecting love and a normal life, only to discover he's an undertaker—and that he has no intention of letting her leave. When desperation drives her to a dark act, she finds herself trapped in a cruel twist of fate that ensures she can never escape the very profession she abhors. A haunting tale of a woman's doomed struggle against the inescapable circumstances of her own making.

The Spiteful Spirit
6 pp · Horror-Suspense

A crippled woman's paid companion, Rose Tallon, schemes to poison her employer's wife so she can claim both the husband and his fortune—but the murdered woman returns as a vengeful spirit to protect her devoted, now-unraveling husband from Rose's clutches. Trapped by supernatural forces and her own desperation, Rose finds herself facing a choice far darker than the crime she committed.
