Gyp (villain, death)Davie (villain, death)Khar (death)RobbieMurphy

Two London thieves, Gyp and Davie, duck into a mysterious house to escape the police and encounter Khar, a mystical seer who reads their dark past in a seven-pointed star—then pronounces a chilling curse upon them.

The Spectres in Shaft 13
8 pp · horror-suspense

Three amateur fossil hunters exploring an abandoned iron mine in Northern New Jersey stumble upon something far more sinister than old rocks—eerie holes in the stone walls that seem to reach out with impossibly cold hands, and a severed arm that defies explanation. When Roger brings his gruesome discovery to Lieutenant Bryce at the nearby Naval Rocket Test Station, the two set out to uncover the truth behind the spectral terror lurking in the depths of Shaft 13. What they find hidden beneath the mine will test their courage and expose secrets someone very much wants kept buried.

Terror from the Tombs
6 pp

In sixteenth-century Peru, a young Spaniard named Don Cristobal defects from his countrymen's brutal conquest to champion the Incas, earning mystical powers and a sacred spear to fight the conquistadors—but treachery cuts his story short, sealing him in an immortal tomb. Four centuries later, an American professor and his daughter discover the crystal coffin holding Don Cristobal's perfectly preserved body, unknowingly awakening a force bound by an ancient blood curse. What emerges from that tomb will finally reveal the truth behind the mysterious extinction of an entire civilization.

Murder by Myth
5 pp

A mysterious assassin wielding a replica of Medusa's head uses the ancient myth as a weapon of terror, striking down diplomats and defectors with the sheer shock of its appearance. When OSS operative Dan Clayton catches wind of the murders, he pursues the killer across New York to stop a Cold War conspiracy that's turned Greek mythology into a deadly instrument. This five-page tale from Strange Terrors blends espionage thriller with pulp horror in classic 1952 style.
