Haunt of Fear #16 [2]

In "Vampire!" from Haunt of Fear #16, Dr. Reed arrives to treat a pale, frail young woman, only to misread the signs and fixate on her father as the source of her illness—unaware that the true monster is the girl herself. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story unfolds with chilling precision, turning a medical visit into a tense game of mistaken identity.

In "The Killer in the Coffin!", a man’s desperate plan to escape suspicion for his wife’s murder hinges on faking his own death during a plague outbreak—only to find his lover, the lovely Faye Booth, trapped by the very disease he’d hoped would clear his path. With the coffin his only sanctuary, he’s left waiting, unaware that fate has turned his alibi into a tomb.

In 2902 B.C., King Khufu’s obsession with the beauty Nirrah leads to tragedy when he orders her lover Famu killed. When she uses the "Prayer for raising the dead" in the sealed tomb, she is entombed with him—only to be rediscovered millennia later by a British Museum expedition. As the ancient ritual echoes through time, the past begins to stir in ways no one could have foreseen.
