☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Body Snatcher," a wartime romance takes a chilling turn when a soldier’s ghost refuses to let go of the woman he was meant to marry—now wed to another. Drawn with eerie precision by Harry Harrison, this haunting tale from 1952 explores love, loss, and the lingering presence of the past. The cover, by Joseph Sokoli, captures the story’s unsettling mood with a stark, shadowed image of a figure watching from the edge of a wedding scene.
Harry Fleer is a grave robber willing to murder for profit, supplying corpses to an obsessed doctor conducting mysterious experiments in 19th-century Scotland—until the doctor's work achieves something terrible, and the desecrated dead demand their vengeance. What begins as greed and betrayal spirals into a supernatural reckoning that Harry can't outrun, no matter how far he flees into the night.
A young boy named Johnnie tries to tell his father, a talented comic book artist struggling with creative block, about his new schoolmate Willie and the fantastical monsters Willie describes—but his father dismisses him as a distraction. When Johnnie finally shares Willie's vivid monster ideas with his dad, the artist becomes obsessed, convinced they're the key to winning the prestigious "Ghoul" award. Desperate to meet this mysterious source of inspiration, Johnnie's father insists on visiting Willie's home, though Johnnie keeps warning him that he should listen to what the boy has been trying to tell him all along.
When nocturnal screams and disappearances plague the German village of Ziess-Baden, American trouble-shooters Tex O'Reilly and Nick Barton are dispatched to investigate the ruined castle on the Rhine. What they uncover in the depths of that dark stronghold is far more sinister than anyone imagined—a madman commanding an unspeakable "army" from the shadows. This 1952 chiller follows the hunters as they descend into a nightmare of their own making.
A petty crook's ruthless gambit to fool the police goes horribly wrong when he uses a dead woman as cover—only to find she won't release him as the building burns around them. Danny Kaven discovers too late that some dance partners hold on forever, no matter what price he's willing to pay. This 1952 horror-suspense tale proves that crime's consequences can be far stranger and more terrifying than any jail cell.
