☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeStrange Mysteries #10 is an anthology featuring two stories. "Long Strange Journey" opens the issue, following a man determined to capture a rare quetzal bird in Costa Rica for a $10,000 reward offered by Dr. Henry Lumins, leading him into the jungle with warnings from locals about the dangers. The second story, "Tropical Madness," depicts a surgeon's descent into paranoia and madness, including a quarrel with his wife over a house and a mysterious incident on a ship's deck involving what may be supernatural forces, culminating in doubt about whether events are real or imagined.
In "Strange Dateline," newlyweds Richard and Sylvia encounter a mysterious stranger on the beach who writes "July 10 1958" in the sand before vanishing. The next day, Sylvia dies in a traffic accident on that exact date, leaving Richard shaken and alone. When he returns to the shore, he finds the stranger has written a new date—Oct 9 1994—before vanishing again. After swimming out to sea, Richard is rescued by a fishing boat, only to wake up to a doctor’s words that he’s a lucky man.
In "How to Be a Gracious Ghost," an unnamed ghost and Charlie, dressed in a Death-like robe, visit Emily Ghost—a Morticia-like figure—for tips on haunting an old mansion with proper etiquette. When a werewolf interrupts the lesson, their advice is put to the test as two newlyweds, fleeing a storm, stumble into the estate, convinced their parents have tracked them down.
In "His Long, Strange Journey," cowardly Wilbur Cummings wakes to find himself caught between realms—rejected by Heaven for his lack of good deeds and by Hell for his absence of malice. When Death intervenes, offering him a second chance, Wilbur must navigate the uncertain path of a life he’s never truly lived.
In "The Ghost Detective," the enigmatic Zero and his companion Nancy embark on a fishing trip aboard Captain Gore’s ship, only to find themselves entangled in a mystery as eerie as the sea itself. When Zero witnesses the captain arguing with a spectral figure on deck, he uncovers a chilling secret tied to the ship’s past—and a deadly accusation that could sink more than just a vessel.
