Tales of Horror #6

In "The Treacherous Genie," a desperate man named Edgar Tilburt stumbles upon a curio shop where he’s offered a bottle containing a tiny, live Genie for $50 million—only to be tricked into buying it for five dollars. The shop owner, amused by his gullibility, watches as Edgar’s life spirals into chaos when the Genie, along with other legendary figures like Helen of Troy, Cleopatra, and Marie Antoinette, begins to exact a far more dangerous price than money.

In "The Weirdest Suicide Pact of All Times!" from Tales of Horror #6 (1953), a ghostly woman arrives at a prison to confront the warden, claiming she died in a pact with her husband—only to learn he didn’t die when she expected. Her eerie visit unravels a chilling mystery about time, death, and the final moments of a shared fate.
