☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis is an anthology issue containing multiple stories of supernatural horror. One story follows Alan Lucas, who is cursed by a mysterious Rama figure after wishing his fiancée Joan would be killed so he might escape marriage; the curse grants his wish but condemns him to become an eternal slave. Another story depicts a party where guests use a gypsy witch's severed hair as a place-card holder, only to discover that cutting her hair summons her ghost from her grave, which comes to life seeking revenge for the desecration of her remains.
In "The Devil's Monster," a man returning from a Caribbean island brings back more than souvenirs—he carries the forbidden elixir behind the rituals he witnessed. Back in the isolated town of Sarno Gulch, he and his new bride experiment with the substance, unaware of the transformation it will unleash.
In "Nightmare," a man pushed to the edge by abandonment and despair descends into crime to survive—until a chilling retribution arrives, silent and swift, on wings of darkness.
In "Until Death Do Us Part," a brilliant but grotesquely disfigured inventor named Fozzmo creates lifelike robots that earn him fame and fortune—yet leave him isolated in his loneliness. Determined to find companionship, he builds a synthetic woman programmed to love him unconditionally, only to shatter her when her devotion turns unbearable. But when she returns, broken and vengeful, her malfunctioning design leads to a tragic and unexpected end.
In "Over Her Dead Body," a meek tailor reaches his breaking point with his domineering wife. After she refuses to let him leave the house to fetch a dressmaker’s dummy, he takes a drastic and horrifying step—turning her corpse into the very object she once mocked.
