In "The Devil's Bottles," a 1952 issue of Weird Mysteries, a desperate man named Danny makes a fateful bargain with the devil, receiving five mysterious bottles each holding a powerful spirit. With the first four, he exacts revenge, gains wealth, and transforms his life—only to find himself falsely accused of crimes committed by the very spirits he unleashed. Cover by Bernard Baily, the story unfolds through art by Hy Fleishman and lettering by Howard Ferguson, blending classic horror tropes with a chilling twist of fate.

The Devil's Bottles

In "The Devil's Bottles," a desperate young man trades his soul for power, unlocking four bottled spirits that grant him wealth, fame, and revenge—only to find the crimes they commit are tied to his own body. When the law closes in and he breaks the one rule he was warned against, the final bottle unleashes a fate far worse than he imagined.

Robot Woman
5 pp · Horror-Suspense

In "Robot Woman," a grotesquely disfigured inventor named Fozzmo, renowned for his advanced robotic creations, builds a lifelike robot woman programmed to love him unconditionally.

Turnabout
5 pp · Horror-Suspense

In "Turnabout," a group of bullies who thrived on cruelty find themselves on the receiving end of the very suffering they once inflicted. When the tables finally turn, the fear they once caused begins to consume them—only to reveal a deeper, more unsettling truth.

First Come, First Served
4 pp · Horror-Suspense

A man seeking darker services arrives at M. Morte's mysterious shop with an urgent request—his wife must be eliminated before Friday. But Morte operates on a strict principle: the customer who came first gets served first, and another job is already in the queue. What the desperate husband doesn't realize is that his wife may have had the very same idea, and in Morte's efficient hands, irony cuts sharper than any blade.

Ordeal by Wax
5 pp · Horror-Suspense

In "Ordeal by Wax," a fugitive seeking refuge in a peculiar costume shop finds himself trapped in a twisted bargain with its reclusive owner. Forced to lure unsuspecting customers into a vat of hot wax to fuel the man’s macabre collection, the criminal soon turns on his host—only to fall victim to a hidden trap of his own making.
