No Common Ground

When an alien vessel lands on Earth seeking refuge for its dying world, mankind's leaders find themselves at an impossible impasse—the visitors insist they mean no harm, but Earth's officials see only fundamental differences that could lead to disaster. As negotiations stall and tensions mount, an unexpected friendship between two children suggests a path forward that adults have overlooked.

The Thing in the Cellar
4 pp · horror-suspense

Johnny Reed is a petty criminal haunted by a terrifying shadow creature he encountered in his childhood cellar—a presence that has followed him through the years, driving him to a life on the run. Carrying only lucky charms and matches as protection, Johnny finds himself locked away in jail, trapped with the thing he's never been able to escape. When fire sweeps through the prison, Johnny wonders if the flames have finally freed him from the darkness that's pursued him for so long.

Keep Off
3 pp · science fiction

Space scientists finally have their shot at the Moon—a state-of-the-art robot scout, launched aboard a Mercury rocket, will gather the data needed to send humans safely to the lunar surface. But when mission control orders the robot to return home, they receive an answer that transforms humanity's greatest dream into something far more unsettling. "Keep Off," from *Strange Suspense Stories* #66, is a lean, smartly twisted take on the space race that reminds us some frontiers might not welcome us.

When a tropical storm forces the evacuation of the modern cruise ship, Roger finds himself rescued by Berdino and awakening aboard something far more sinister than he bargained for. Now trapped on a vessel commandeered by a ruthless captain with piratical ambitions, Roger must reckon with the true nature of his "dream vacation."
