☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "I Was Captured by the Creature from Krogarr!", a lazy human’s life takes a bizarre turn when an alien entity begins snatching objects through his TV—until his own neglect of the electric bill becomes his unexpected salvation. The story blends sci-fi oddity with a touch of cosmic irony, as the man’s apathy becomes the key to outsmarting an otherworldly intruder.
In "The 13th Floor," a seemingly ordinary elevator ride takes a surreal turn when a passer-by is caught in a tense standoff with a spy threatening to detonate a bomb in a high-rise hotel. As the elevator ascends, the cheerful operator calmly vanishes upon reaching the 13th floor—only to reveal that the floor doesn’t exist, and the threat was never real.
In "Spragg Conqueror of the Human Race!", an outcast alien named Spragg crash-lands in Transylvania, where he enslaves the local villagers to construct a device that will amplify his already formidable abilities. As the townspeople toil under his command, a visiting scientist begins to unravel the alien's plan—and must find a way to stop him before Spragg's power grows beyond control.
In "Where Lurks the Ghost!", a man spends a restless night in a haunted house alongside its caretaker—only to question whether the ghost he thinks he saw was real, or if the caretaker himself has been dead all along. The line between the living and the spectral blurs as shadows deepen and silence grows heavy.
In "Help!", a struggling writer inherits a secondhand typewriter that endlessly types the same desperate plea—“Help!”—followed by an address, no matter what keys are pressed. Driven by curiosity and dread, the writer journeys to the location, only to uncover a chilling mystery tied to the machine’s past.
