☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue features three stories: "Rose of Doom," in which a man on African safari named Maxwell Harley becomes enchanted by a mysterious woman and attempts to stop her from leaving, only to discover she is a vampire who kills him; "Die, My Darling!," where a professor stakes a vampire in ancient battlements, leading to a confrontation between Rose and another man who accuses her of murder before they escape together to live in a castle; and "Tomb for Two," in which a chemist named Harry Pakenham seeks to stop his fiancée Elizabeth by giving her a rose, which she receives with a mysterious message leading to her being poisoned by a rose that night.
Professor Martin arrives at Vampir Schloss with his niece Rose to research the castle's dark history, only to find their plans complicated when the mysterious Baroness Von Erich requests shelter after a car accident. As the professor delves into centuries-old records, Rose begins experiencing disturbing nighttime visitations, and the true nature of their elegant guest becomes impossible to ignore. The professor must confront the horrifying truth about what the Baroness has done and race against time to save his niece from a fate worse than death.
In "Tomb for Two," John’s love for his bride Elsa becomes an obsession after her sudden death. Haunted and broken, he steals her body from the grave and convinces a taxidermist to preserve her, hoping to keep her with him forever. The story unfolds as a chilling portrait of grief pushed beyond reason, where love and loss blur in a quiet, unsettling descent.
In "Die, My Darling!" from Journey into Fear #6 (1952), a man cursed by a witch doctor begins to shrink after returning to the U.S.A., forcing him to hide inside a life-sized dummy built by his wife. As paranoia and desperation take hold, he confronts the betrayal he suspects—but the truth of what happens next remains chillingly uncertain.
