In "Voodoo Dolls," a cunning old man, aware his nephew is plotting to steal his fortune, sets a chilling trap using his own gold and a hidden radioactive solution. After his death, his servant follows his final wishes—imbaling the body with the molten gold, cremating it, and placing the ashes in a golden urn. When the nephew, unaware of the truth, runs his fingers through the ashes, he begins to realize the horrifying legacy he’s inherited. The story, illustrated with sharp, moody detail by Eugene Hughes, unfolds with a slow-burning dread, all contained within a single, unsettling premise. The cover, by Bernard Baily, captures the eerie atmosphere with a stark, unsettling image that perfectly sets the tone for this 1954 tale.

Voodoo Dolls

Live with a Man
4 pp · Horror-Suspense

In "Live with a Man," a woman with a chilling pattern of marrying and murdering men for their wealth finds herself cornered by the law. To escape execution, she makes a terrifying pact with the devil, who offers her freedom in exchange for marrying a man he selects—only to reveal the groom is none other than Jack the Ripper.

Life Insurance
5 pp · Horror-Suspense

In "Life Insurance," a desperate man named Casper answers a chilling ad for Obelisk Life Insurance, lured by the promise of immortality. What begins as a thrilling escape from mortality quickly spirals into a nightmarish existence when a car accident leaves him alive but trapped in a ruined body—forever aware, forever suffering, and utterly unable to die.

The Door
5 pp · Horror-Suspense

In the eerie depths of a forgotten fun house at an amusement park, a young couple stumbles into a maze that defies time and reason. Years pass as they wander, encountering others trapped in the same endless loop, all searching for a single door that might lead to freedom. The story’s chilling premise lingers long after the final page—what lies beyond that door, and why does it feel so familiar?

Cremation
6 pp · Horror-Suspense

In "Cremation," an old man, aware his nephew is plotting to poison him for his gold, takes a chillingly precise revenge. With the help of his loyal servant, he has his wealth melted down and infused with a radioactive solution, then used to embalm his body before cremation. The resulting ashes, sealed in a gold urn, are given to the nephew with a simple instruction: run his fingers through them. The story builds a slow, unsettling dread as the nephew follows the directive—only to realize too late the horrifying truth hidden in the ashes.
