This Magazine Is Haunted #12
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAn anthology of supernatural tales narrated by Dr. Death. The first story follows Richard Mord, a man cursed by a vampire countess to become enslaved to her after rejecting her kiss, leading him into madness and the "Legion of the Damned." The second story features Doctor Quantrell and his assistant Sheila, who discover a hidden flesh bank in a hospital where human organs are being cultivated, only to realize the discovery has trapped them in a nightmare realm. The final story, "Ready—Action—Camera!", takes place in Hollywood where a film director and publicity man named Swifty Fox encounter strange alien visitors—the Men from Mars—on a movie set.
In "The Store at the Cemetery," a society lady ventures to a remote graveyard to commission a rare piece of pottery for her dinner party, drawn to the unsettling craftsmanship of a reclusive potter rumored to work beyond the veil. The story unfolds with quiet dread, as the line between art and the uncanny blurs in the shadow of tombstones.
In "The Wall of Flesh!" from This Magazine Is Haunted #12 (1953), nurse Sheila finds herself trapped in a nightmare when the sinister Dr. Quantrell betrays her, sending her plunging into a living, pulsating wall of flesh. With time running out and her life hanging in the balance, her fiancé Johnny must race against the clock to save her from a fate too grotesque to imagine.
In "Ready-- Action-- Camera!", a Hollywood studio's desperate ploy to boost a failing sci-fi film backfires when their fake Martian invasion accidentally summons the real thing—uninvited guests from another world who've arrived to begin their true conquest.
