They Called Her a Witch
5 pp · fantasy

Phil and Lois Chandler rent a charming house in Burnley, only to discover their elderly neighbor, Miss Martek, is the subject of dark rumors—locals blame her for various misfortunes and call her a witch. As strange accidents plague the area and suspicion grows, Phil and Lois must uncover the truth behind the accusations when tragedy strikes close to home. A 1959 tale of small-town superstition and the power of fear, "They Called Her a Witch" explores what happens when a community turns against one of its own.

The Inexplicable
5 pp · fantasy

Two hunters, Jed Peters and Cliff Thompson, venture into the remote British Columbia Rockies expecting an easy hunt—but instead encounter a mysterious mountain girl who appears and reappears impossibly, always standing between them and the wildlife they're trying to kill. As the hunters grow increasingly unsettled by her uncanny presence, they're forced to confront something far beyond their understanding and abandon their expedition entirely. "The Inexplicable" is a clever tale of the wild's own mysterious defense, delivered in five tense pages from Strange Suspense Stories #44.

The Threat from Beyond
6 pp · science fiction

Eustace Brazod, a mysterious janitor, arrives at an engineering firm assembling Earth's greatest electronic computer—and quickly proves he can solve complex mathematical problems faster and more accurately than the machine itself. When the scientists demand answers, Brazod vanishes without a trace, leaving them baffled by his impossible disappearance. What the bewildered engineers don't realize is that Brazod is no ordinary man, and his presence on Earth may be part of something far more sinister.

It Happened Tomorrow

A small-time crook named Sam Spanner stumbles upon an extraordinary ability: he can read tomorrow's newspaper today. When he witnesses a prediction come true—a falling tree that narrowly misses a family—Sam becomes convinced his newfound foresight could make him rich, turning his attention to planning the perfect heist. But as he reads about his own upcoming crimes in tomorrow's papers, Sam discovers that fate may have a very different kind of future in store for him.
