Tales of Voodoo #1

In "The Spider," silk merchant Stanley Raffel is drawn into a dangerous partnership with the enigmatic and alluring Lycia, whose exquisite silks seem to come from nowhere. As their business thrives, Raffel begins to notice unsettling details—odd silken strands, strange silences in the workshop, and the way Lycia moves with unnatural precision. The deeper he delves, the more he realizes the truth behind her beauty may be far more monstrous than he ever imagined.

In "The Thing in the Parlor," two desperate bank robbers break into a derelict house in the slums, expecting an easy score—only to find themselves trapped in a nightmare. The woman who lives there is far from what she seems, and the walls of the parlor hide a hunger older than the city itself.
