This Spanish-language terror story, "¿Habéis oído a la muerte?" (Have You Heard Death?) by Silver Kane, concerns a group of university professors who work in various industrial fields—electronics, photography, finance analysis, and aviation. When Dale Went's wife Lena, daughter of a Swiss banking family, is brutally murdered with an axe in their sealed Jura castle while her husband hunts nearby, the group gathers to support him. The narrator discovers an old family portrait depicting a Dracula-like figure holding an axe, matching the murder weapon. Research reveals a curse: any Morson family member marrying outside their bloodline loses their descendants and descends to hell. Lena had recently miscarried and was the first to marry outside the family. The group decides to remain with Dale for three weeks, ostensibly to prevent his psychological collapse, though all are obsessed with uncovering the mystery's resolution.
