Terror Tales #4

In Africa, planter Reed faces a grim choice when his wife Alice needs a life-saving operation in England. Dr. Bishop offers to fund it—if Reed signs over his corpse for medical research, claiming Reed himself is dying. Reed agrees, hoping to save Alice. When she returns cured, he’s stunned to learn she’s been unfaithful to him with Bishop. In a desperate act, Reed orchestrates her death by snakebite and delivers her body to the doctor, then kills Bishop. But the venom from Alice’s scratch eventually claims Reed too.

In "House of Blood," John Trent’s prank goes horribly wrong when he sends his friend Morris Slattery to hide in a supposedly haunted house to scare his wife Sue. When the couple arrive, they find Morris dead—only to realize the house is no empty ghost story, but the deadly domain of a murderous old crone with an axe.
