Shock SuspenStories #11
In "The Tryst!", a tense domestic rift ignites when Dr. Clark's resentment toward his wife's brother, Burt, reaches a boiling point. Late one night, driven by hunger and disdain, Burt ventures into the secluded greenhouse—only to stumble upon something far more dangerous than a midnight snack. Al Feldstein's chilling script, brought to life with sharp, unsettling detail by Marie Severin on art and inks, delivers EC's signature blend of psychological dread and unexpected horror. The cover by Johnny Craig perfectly captures the story's eerie tension, a haunting image that lingers long after the final page.
