Strange Stories from Another World #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Pillar of Stone," diplomat John Restin finds himself grappling with a terrifying dilemma after a blow to the head: visions of green monsters relentlessly trying to steal the classified papers he carries. With his grip on reality slipping, it's unclear whether the threat is a delusion or something far more sinister. Written by Bill Woolfolk and illustrated by Bob McCarty, with a striking cover by Norman Saunders, this 1952 Fawcett tale blends Cold War tension with early sci-fi paranoia in a story that lingers long after the final page.
In "Pillar of Stone," two explorers venture into a remote jungle haunted by whispers of a cursed stone prison, where an ancient evil is said to break free once a year to kill. As they uncover the truth behind the legend, they find themselves racing against time to stop the spirit’s annual rampage before it claims more lives.
In "Monsters of the Mind," diplomat John Restin carries a briefcase of vital defense secrets, but after a blow to the head, he begins seeing green monsters stalking him, desperate to steal his burden. As paranoia and reality blur, the line between hallucination and alien threat grows dangerously thin—leaving readers to wonder: are the monsters in his mind, or are they real?
