When a crabbed man named Amos Carlon—bitter over a long-ago accident that crippled him—encounters a mysterious cat in his parlor, he's shocked to discover it can talk. The creature reveals itself as an alien scout from a distant planet, stranded on Earth after a crash landing, and Amos must quickly decide what to do about this otherworldly visitor in his home.

Goodbye Mr. Jones
4 pp · fantasy

Arthur Jones arrives in India with a loud mouth and unbridled skepticism, dismissing the native fakirs and their mystical traditions as cheap tricks and con games. When a mysterious stranger confronts the obnoxious American in his hotel room with an impossible challenge—to climb a magical rope that may lead nowhere—Jones's stubborn pride and refusal to admit fear sets him on a fateful path. In this 1962 tale from Strange Suspense Stories, India itself seems to answer the desperate wishes of those who suffer under his cruelty.

From the Ancient Dark
6 pp · horror-suspense

When an archeologist named John Costa unearths an ancient Egyptian tomb in the desert, he discovers the Mask of Thoth—a sinister artifact that exerts an almost hypnotic pull on anyone who beholds it. After donning the mask in a moment of weakness, Costa experiences a terrifying vision of ancient powers and watches helplessly as two people close to him vanish in a catastrophic accident. Now confined to an asylum, Costa recounts his harrowing tale to a skeptical reporter, but when that same reporter comes face-to-face with the mask in a museum, he begins to understand the terrible truth behind Costa's descent into madness.

An EPS explorer and his crew track a colossal creature to the planet Taurus II, only to discover it's far more intelligent than they bargained for—and it has a home it's desperate to reach. When the beast escapes its cage and makes a beeline for the forbidden planet Selkorn, our heroes must make contact with whoever lives there and warn them of the danger hurtling toward them. What they uncover about the true nature of the beast, and the beings who sent it, changes everything the military thought they knew about the galaxy.
