Baffling Mysteries #23
In "Werewolf Husband," a 1954 Baffling Mysteries standout, a seemingly ordinary rug turns deadly, sending Mr. and Mrs. Tillotson into a frantic, self-serving race to eliminate each other—only to fall victim to their own household horror. The story unfolds with a delightfully absurd twist, as the ever-growing menace is quietly relocated by a mysterious figure from "Kismet Rugs" to its next suburban doorstep. Cover by typeset, this bizarre tale blends domestic dread with surreal humor in a way only 1950s pulp horror could.
