This anthology issue contains four tales of supernatural terror. "Broken Mirror" follows a woman undergoing surgery who fears her face has been permanently disfigured, only to discover the doctor has merely adjusted her dressings. "The Wandering Corpse" concerns the mysterious disappearance of a wealthy eccentric named Mr. Chumly from a hospital morgue, baffling his relatives who anticipated his inheritance. "Gypsy's Curse" depicts a man named Greg Peters under a gypsy's spell that threatens him with endless misery unless he marries, leading him to pursue a woman named Hope Caldwell. Additional stories round out the issue with further explorations of fear and the supernatural.

Contains 4 stories
The Broken Mirror
9 pp · Horror-Suspense

A surgeon's obsession with a ballerina takes a sinister turn when he manipulates her into his private hospital for facial surgery, determined to remake her into his ideal woman. As Glenda West recovers from the operation in a mirror-free room, she begins to develop feelings for her doctor—but his discovery of her deepest secret sends him spiraling into a desperate act that will shatter everything she's been promised. A chilling tale of beauty, vanity, and the terrible price of control.

Midnight Prowler
6 pp · Horror-Suspense

When a precious ruby hidden inside an antique chest vanishes during a botched robbery, old Jonas Palmer becomes the midnight prowler of his neighborhood—pacing the darkened streets night after night with only his cat Satan for company. As locals dismiss him as simply daft, Jonas pursues the one lead that might restore his life's savings, unaware that fate has already set the ruby's course. A tale of desperation, secrets locked away, and the persistence of hope against impossible odds.

The Wandering Corpse
6 pp · Horror-Suspense

When Webster Chumly's corpse vanishes from a hospital morgue, his body embarks on a surreal journey—turning up in a taxi, a train, and finally on a steamship bound for Cuba—bewildering everyone who encounters it. A young woman passenger claims the dead man as her uncle, but her involvement in the mystery runs far deeper than grief, and a detective hired by the deceased himself is determined to uncover why someone would go to such lengths to move a corpse across the country. In this tale of greed and deception, the real mystery isn't where the wandering dead man will end up, but who's been moving him, and why.

Gypsy's Curse
8 pp · Horror-Suspense

In a role reversal of Hollywood cruelty, smooth leading man Greg Peters dallies with a gypsy woman's affections while filming on location, then coldly dismisses her and the life she imagined together—only to find himself cursed by her father with a dark promise: any woman who loves him shall know death. Back in civilization, Peters finds genuine love with his nurse Mary Dell, but the curse's shadow lengthens as old flames and bitter rivals circle, testing whether his newfound devotion can survive the supernatural vengeance sworn against him.
