In "The Bloody Blob," scientists Titus Grimm and Wilbur Hatch push the limits of experimentation, harnessing a living mass of protoplasm and an electronic brain in a bid to forge a new kind of intelligence. When Grimm insists on merging the two into a single, self-aware entity, the experiment takes a terrifying turn—what they’ve created may be far more than they ever intended.
In "Sea Ghost," a desperate Norwegian fisherman named Gundar strikes a dark bargain with the spirits of ancient Norsemen, trading his soul for wealth and the promise of marrying the chief’s daughter, Inge. When Inge flees to Denmark with her true love, the price of betrayal comes crashing down in the form of a vengeful ghostly spear.
In "The Devil's Sword," matador Miguel's ambition leads him to a dangerous bargain with the devil, trading his skill for unmatched fame in the ring. As his hunger for glory grows, the price of his success begins to catch up with him—until the devil, impatient and unrelenting, claims what was promised.
