In "Volcano of Vengeance," field man Tod Sloane ventures into the heart of a Central American jungle to investigate Mount Pataxo, where a centuries-old cult of goatmen and their queen, Arni, quietly endure. When superstitious villagers prepare to sacrifice him to avert an eruption, Sloane finds unexpected allies in the very beings they fear. With the help of Arni and his own wits, he unravels the truth behind the mountain’s legends and secures a rare artifact—though the deeper mysteries of the volcano may not be so easily laid to rest.

Phantom Snow Queen

In "Phantom Snow Queen," ski-jump star Irma Monroe is haunted by a vision of death before her daring nightly jump at the Snowtop Lodge. While she races to New York to consult a psychiatrist, a mysterious skeletal phantom takes her place on the slopes—leaving her boyfriend frantic and her fate uncertain. When he finds her comatose in a hospital after a fall down an elevator shaft, her recovery hinges on the voice of her lover. A chilling mystery unfolds in this 1951 fantasy tale.

The Lady Was a Tiger

As danger mounts, the line between hunter and hunted blurs—until a final confrontation with Zander tests the bond between man and the creature he once called wife.

Baffling Mysteries [#1]
1 pp · fantasy

In a quiet stretch of the Danube where mist curls over the water, two pranksters in a borrowed boat scare a ferryman on Halloween, shouting, "We are Death!"—before vanishing into the fog. The river, still and deep, holds its breath as the night swallows them whole.

Baffling Mysteries [#2]
1 pp · horror-suspense

In "Baffling Mysteries [#2]," a lone man strolling the shore stumbles upon the buried treasure of Captain Kidd—only to be confronted by the ghostly pirate himself. After a desperate act of violence, the man flees to the police, but the scene that follows reveals a chilling twist: the corpse left behind bears no trace of the pirate, now unmistakably the face of an innocent beachcomber.

Terror in the Coal Pits

In "Terror in the Coal Pits," Nurse Jarvis stumbles upon a mine foreman in the Pennsylvania hills, who leads her to a group of men trapped in a cave-in—only to vanish moments later.

As she and the mine owner's son follow the clues into the forgotten tunnels, they uncover a mystery buried deeper than the rock itself.
