Blue Bolt Weird Tales #118

In "The Creature in the Fens," a mysterious alien named Tagona descends upon the Everglades, leaving a trail of fear and death. When he encounters the reclusive swamp hermit Zeek, the truth unfolds: Zeek is Zafara Zaran, emperor of Arcturus, who once banished Tagona millennia ago. The confrontation is brief but deadly, and as Zeek falls, he whispers a warning—his bloodline will never stop hunting the creature.

In "Box of Death," a condemned swami swears vengeance from the gallows, promising to haunt the jurors who sentenced him. Soon after, each juror receives a strange box—when opened, it releases a spectral killer from beyond the grave.

When an ominous darkness falls over Earth and the sun's rays mysteriously vanish, Major Jet discovers an alien threat from the void—a flying city commanded by the ruthless Bandab, who plans to freeze the planet and claim it as his own. Racing against time with his assistant Largo, Major Jet devises a desperate plan to infiltrate the invaders' stronghold and turn their own power against them. In this 1953 sci-fi thriller, one scientist must outwit creatures from beyond the stars before Earth becomes a frozen, lifeless world.

Despite its fearsome name, the tarsier is a three-ounce jungle dweller native to the Philippines—a tiny but deadly predator that hunts at night from the treetops with enormous eyes, prehensile toes, and a pouncing leap that belies its modest size. This remarkable creature, which science recognizes as a common ancestor shared by both apes and man, strikes at lizards and insects with razor-sharp teeth and claws that demand gloved hands for safe handling. A fascinating look at one of nature's smallest but most efficient hunters.

When a mysterious "White Spirit" begins demanding sacrifices from the Tangane tribe, Jungle Jo discovers the supernatural terror is actually a sinister scheme: a rogue doctor using drugged natives and phosphorus powder to pose as spirits while forcing the tribe to mine gold. Captured and forcibly transformed into a "White Spirit" himself, Jungle Jo must somehow break free from the doctor's control and rescue his mate Lura from the same terrible fate before the evil plot claims more victims.
