Strange Fantasy #12

In the misty hills of Devonshire, an old Viking ship stirs from the earth, awakening Garth—a vampire from a forgotten age. Drawn by the scent of a woman from the excavation, he claims her and vanishes into the countryside, leaving only silence in his wake.

In "Scales of Death," a cursed salamander from ancient Arabia awakens centuries later, turning a traveling carnival into a stage for terror—where an old fool and his show girl hussy find themselves hunted by a relic of forgotten doom. The story unfolds with chilling simplicity, weaving dread through time and fate.

In "Fangs of Fear," two ancient rivals—each ruling their domain in human form—circle each other on a fog-drenched waterfront, their eyes sharp with hidden menace. One commands the shadows of the rat kingdom, the other the silent grace of the feline realm, locked in a deadly game where every step could be the last.

In "Terror Town," Professor Wilkins’ reckless experiments take a monstrous turn when his growth serum awakens an octopus brain, swelling it to terrifying size and sending it rampaging through the city. With his own creation out of control, Wilkins must confront a horrifying choice—can he stop the beast without becoming its next victim?
