In "Mask of Medusa," Playboy Robert Baker returns to his ancestral castle, eager to restore its grandeur—only to discover that the past isn’t so easily buried. The haunting presence of a long-dead servant, bound by the sins of Robert’s great-grandfather, lingers in the shadows of the estate. Art by Rudy Palais brings a moody, atmospheric tension to the tale, while Don Heck’s cover captures the eerie allure of the story’s central mystery.

Contains 4 stories
Mask of Medusa
6 pp · Horror-Suspense

An ancient mask steeped in mythological malice passes through the hands of successive owners—a collector, a society couple, street dwellers—each encounter leaving a trail of mysterious deaths in its wake. A curio shop proprietor bears witness to the Mask of Medusa's deadly cycle, watching as it vanishes again into the world, its true nature and current whereabouts forever unknown. What fatal power does this artifact truly possess, and who might be its next unfortunate owner?

Hackie's Return
7 pp · Horror-Suspense

A taxi driver witnesses a brutal bank robbery and becomes a liability—so the gangsters dump him in the river to silence him for good. But when the murderers begin encountering a ghostly yellow cab driven by a skeletal figure, they realize their victim has returned with vengeance in mind. This 1953 tale of supernatural retribution proves that some debts, even death itself, cannot erase.

Pit of Death
7 pp · Horror-Suspense

Three explorers searching for uranium in Africa's unmapped Magesso Territory discover far more than riches when they stumble upon the legendary Pit of the Doomed—a place where inhuman horrors guard secrets meant to stay buried. Months later, explorer Donald Lord assembles a new expedition after hearing a desperate survivor's account, but greed and deception cloud the judgment of those who dare to return to that cursed place. What awaits them in the pit's depths will test whether reason and skepticism can stand against forces that exist beyond the world of men.

Den of Horror
6 pp · Horror-Suspense
Robert Baker

Playboy Robert Baker returns to his ancestral estate to restore the family castle, but soon discovers the grounds are haunted by the lingering spirit of a servant murdered by his great-grandfather—now restless and bound to the very halls he once served.
