Haunt of Fear #13

In "For the Love of Death!" from Haunt of Fear #13, Jo, a man consumed by envy of the attention given to the dead, devises a chilling plan to take the spotlight by murdering the town's wealthiest man and taking his place in a closed casket. With a knife and a desperate hope for posthumous fame, he stages the scene—only to find himself trapped in a coffin, unaware that the dead man’s final wish was cremation.

In "Minor Error!", the neighborhood boys grow suspicious of Ezra, the quiet new kid who never plays with them. When they catch his uncle draining a victim’s blood and storing it in a jug, they’re certain he’s a vampire—and that’s why Ezra stays indoors. Determined to stop him, they plan to stake the uncle the next day, only to find Ezra peacefully sleeping in a coffin in the cellar, the empty blood jar beside him.

In the frozen silence of the Russian steppes, a sleigh hurtles through the snow as a pack of wolves closes in. With only two bullets left, the officer fires to buy time, but the driver knows they won’t reach safety. Faced with a desperate choice, he suggests one of them—officer, woman, newborn, or old man—must be thrown to the wolves to save the rest. The fate of the chosen one remains chillingly uncertain.
