☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains at least two stories: "The Man Who Lived Forever," in which explorers on a strange plateau encounter a horrifying immortal being and discover that an artist named Marston's terrifying visions were caused by an atomic laboratory explosion rather than actual demons; and "One Night of Terror," featuring a small mining town threatened by alien creatures arriving in a spacecraft that attempt to abduct humans as specimens for outer space.
In "Death's Album," freelance photographer Alec Marston finds his lens forever changed after witnessing a lab disaster—now capturing not just the moment, but the three spectral emissaries of death lurking behind every tragedy. As he begins to stage accidents to photograph the horrors he sees, the very demons he’s chasing begin to turn the tables, demanding he destroy the camera that reveals them.
In the isolated Canadian wilderness, an ancient sage tends to a plateau where time seems to stand still. When three prospectors descend by parachute in search of uranium, they’re drawn instead to the mysterious herbs that sustain the sage’s endless life. As greed takes hold, one man betrays his companions, only to find that immortality comes at a cost far beyond his imagining.
In the remote Peruvian village of Vortezo, a thunderstorm rolls in as a ghostly conquistador named Vortezo—legendary for his brutal reign—rises from the past to terrorize the townspeople. When American tourist Allan begins to unravel the truth, he discovers the so-called specter is no supernatural force, but a man in a costume, using fear to control the village.
In the scorched silence of Ghost City Valley, a meteor’s sudden arrival sets off a chain of terror when prospectors uncover an alien spaceship beneath the sand. The robot-like visitors descend, seizing the townspeople and vanishing into the stars—leaving only Professor Drake, the lone survivor, to tell a story no one will believe.
