An anthology of supernatural tales, including a story about a man who searches a crypt for a locket belonging to Anne, a woman buried 900 years earlier for witchcraft; he finds an antidote that allows him to join her in death, only to discover her ghost returns to haunt and kill him. Another story follows a man accused of murdering a girl named Ruby, who claims his ghostly wife Ethel is the true killer; he is taken to a state hospital where he experiences terrifying visions and encounters a skeletal figure that warns him to stay away from a mountain. A third tale involves an explorer who, after being taken by Tibetans and spending time in a hospital, is transformed into an aged and disfigured creature, with the final panel showing his altered appearance in a mirror.

Contains 4 stories
Skull Scavenger
8 pp · Horror-Suspense

In tenth-century France, an alchemist named Jules discovers the elixir of life—but his triumph curdles into tragedy when his beloved Anne is executed for witchcraft before she can drink it, and the antidote he prepared for her is lost forever. Nine centuries later, an ancient, withered man haunts the ruins of a monastery, desperately searching for Anne's remains and the locket containing the only means to end his curse, driven by a hunger for death that immortality has denied him. Two gendarmes listen as this impossible survivor reveals the terrible price of his own cleverness—a story of love, alchemy, and an eternity without end.

Rest in Peril
6 pp

Victor Fleming engineers an elaborate scheme to drive his wife Ethel mad—filling their house with ghostly noises and phantom sounds—so he can have her committed and claim her money for himself and his lover Ruby. But when Ethel escapes the rest home, the line between her revenge and something far more sinister begins to blur in "Rest in Peril," a chilling tale of cruelty that comes back to haunt its architect in ways he never imagined.

Death on Ice
8 pp

In "Death on Ice," three mountain climbers and their guide, Oog, push toward the summit of Everest—only to be halted by a sudden storm and a chilling ghostly warning that the mountain will claim their lives if they continue. As the storm rages and the climb turns deadly, two climbers and Oog fall victim to the icy heights, leaving Sandra as the sole survivor. She stumbles back to base camp, only to find her face aged beyond recognition, haunted by the mountain’s unseen price.

Love Trap...
5 pp · Science Fiction

In "Love Trap...", a group of female pilots lands on a mysterious planet where the men are strikingly handsome—too perfect to be real. When they fail to report back, a team of male pilots is sent to investigate, only to find themselves entranced by the planet’s stunningly beautiful women. But beauty here is a deadly illusion, and the truth beneath the surface is far more unsettling than anyone could have imagined.
