Journey into Fear #1

In "Preview of Chaos!", a druid is enlisted to stage a terrifying illusion: making the moon seem on a collision course with California, all to drive down property values for a crooked land grab. When an observant attorney uncovers the hoax, he races to expose the scheme before panic takes hold.

In "Was He Death-proof?", a condemned criminal swears vengeance from the gallows, setting off a chilling chain of events. After the judge's daughter sketches his portrait, his ghost returns to claim the judge—and then turns his gaze toward her. When a mysterious stranger arrives with a radioactive detecto ray, the line between the living and the dead blurs in a tense, suspenseful showdown.

In "I Am Murder," a woman haunted by her past—her fiancé leaving her for her looks—finds herself alone during a storm when a blind man arrives at her door. When she shoots him in fear, the shock unexpectedly restores his sight, and he sees her not as she fears, but as she truly is.

In "The Playful Executioner," a sinister presence stirs in the shadows of a troubled marriage, twisting small, eerie disturbances into growing dread. When the wife falls fatally on the stairs, the husband finds an unexpected relief—and a new affection blooming at work—though the spirit’s true intentions remain chillingly unclear.
