Worlds of Fear #8 (1953)

In "……?", Mona Harris greets her fiancé Paul Fowler after his return from a jungle expedition, but something feels off—Paul has changed since surviving a plane crash and being cared for by an alien, living protoplasm. The story unfolds with quiet dread as the line between salvation and transformation blurs.

In "The Phantom Gloves," sports reporter Jack Lonergan, driven by idle curiosity, declares himself a warlock and curses a pair of boxing gloves—only to find their deadly power far more real than he ever imagined.
