"The Witch of Tarlo" delivers a chilling tale from This Magazine Is Haunted #9 (1953), a standout entry in the classic horror anthology series. Written by Bill Woolfolk and illustrated by Leonard Frank, the story follows Donald Matson, a private zoo owner, as he becomes entangled with a tigress whose eerie transformation into a white lady unleashes a dangerous, seductive spell. The haunting atmosphere is perfectly captured in the cover by Sheldon Moldoff, whose striking artwork sets the tone for a tale where beauty masks a deadly secret.
