Dr. Daniel Warren (nuclear scientist)Marcia Duncan (Warren's fiancee)Professor Lambert Pardway (villain, Warren's lab assistant, death)

In "Spirit of Frankenstein [Part 1]," Dr. Warren pushes the boundaries of science with a lifelike plastic skin and a radio-controlled synthetic man built on a steel frame. When his assistant, driven by ambition, secretly implants his own brain into the creation, the experiment takes a dangerous turn—setting the stage for a chilling clash of minds and machines.

The Blonde Witch of the Swamp
8 pp
Paul WilliamsBob HansonBarbara Hanson

Two friends and a young woman venture into the treacherous Ochakaloosa Swamp of Louisiana to investigate the legend of the Blonde Witch—a supernatural being the Tusca Indians claim demands blood sacrifices—only to discover the terrifying folklore may be far more real than skepticism allows. As they witness a ritual sacrifice and learn of the witch's hypnotic power, they find themselves trapped in her domain with forces neither science nor disbelief can explain. Will any of them survive an encounter with the creature that has lured men to their doom since time immemorial?

The Ghostly Crew
8 pp
Elias Fragg

A sailor on a trans-Atlantic liner confesses to the captain an impossible story: he claims to be the sole surviving member of the Mary Celeste's crew, cursed with eternal life after murdering his shipmates for a vase of magical water obtained from an African island. Haunted by the ghosts of the men he killed, he has wandered the seas for decades trying—and failing—to end his own life, pursued by their relentless spectral revenge. Now, after finally unburdening himself of his terrible secret, he faces a fate stranger still.

South Sea Superstitions
2 pp
The BwagaThe TauvaThe TokwayThe Yoyova

Among New Guinea's fiercest warriors, superstition runs deeper than courage: the Bwaga's death-curse, the Tauva's vengeful serpents, the Tokway lurking in misty forests, and the Yoyova—a night-witch commanding waves and flying foxes—all strike terror into entire villages. This 1949 tale explores how these legendary demons of South Sea folklore claim lives not through supernatural power, but through the paralyzing fear they inspire in those who believe.

The Spectral Singer
7 pp
George HastingsAlicia BradwellMr. HughesAunt Gertrude

When George Hastings and Alicia Bradwell unexpectedly inherit Cragside Hall together—a property haunted by eerie singing and mysterious sounds—they must uncover the secret behind the spectral disturbances. Exploring the mansion's hidden passages and underground caves, the pair discover a connection to their namesakes, two colonial-era lovers with a tragic past. "The Spectral Singer," with its blend of mystery and history, builds toward a haunting revelation about what's been keeping the spirits of Cragside Hall restless for centuries.
