Jim OtisPeggy BowdenOwen SummersNatas [Satan]

An art critic named Jim Otis encounters a mysterious painter called Natas whose exhibitions are so disturbing they seem to carry a supernatural power—and when Jim resolves to condemn the work, a sinister game of threats and dark magic begins. Accompanied by art student Peggy Bowden, Jim races to uncover the truth behind the artist and his nightmarish paintings before the evil they contain claims more victims. "Artist of Evil" is a chilling tale of artistic ambition twisted into something far more malevolent than any mortal art could be.

Waldo HamiltonPatricia HartleyGuy Hartley

Dr. Waldo Hamilton finds himself caught between science and the supernatural when Patricia Hartley seeks his help for a terrifying problem: her new husband, Guy Hartley, appears to harbor two spirits in one body—one tender and loving by day, the other a malevolent force that emerges at night, demanding money and poring over occult manuscripts. As the evil entity grows closer to unlocking a dark ritual to claim total possession, Hamilton must race to uncover the truth about Guy's past before the transformation becomes permanent.

President William McKinleyLeon Czolgosz

In 1952, *Adventures into the Unknown* recounts a chilling American legend: each September 6th, the spirit of President William McKinley is said to return to the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, where assassin Leon Czolgosz gunned him down in 1901, and re-enact those final, fatal moments. Witnesses claim to have seen the ghostly president relive his assassination, only to vanish once more until the anniversary comes round again.

LindaFred

Fred and Linda crash-land their plane in the frozen Canadian wilderness and venture into a desolate village, only to discover they've stumbled into a nightmare of werewolves—not just one creature, but an entire cursed population transforming under the midnight sky.

Ghost Town
4 pp · horror-suspense
PrescottGeorge Harris

A uranium prospecting expedition in Arizona's Vulture Mountains takes a sinister turn when Prescott and George Harris stumble upon Lead City, a ghost town sitting atop an old graveyard—and dynamiting the hill to detect ore awakens the vengeful spirits of outlaws buried there. When the greedy Prescott attempts to exploit the undead gunfighters for crime, Harris must find a way to stop them before the spectral gang tears through the living world. This 1952 tale mines genuine suspense from a high-concept premise: what happens when the dead rise, and who pays the price for disturbing their rest?
