Adventures into Terror #44 [2]
In "The Stranger," a storm-swept night in Virginia leads Mark Winter to a mysterious 19th-century mansion, where a strangely timeless couple offers shelter. As he speaks of his Boston roots, the man’s reaction turns deadly—only for the woman to intervene, with tragic consequences. The next morning, the mansion lies in ruins, and a local’s chilling tale connects the night’s events to a long-buried Civil War tragedy. Cover by Carl Burgos, with lettering set in typeset.
