| I recall seeing a B&W reprint of "When Witches Summon" in one of the Warren publications. |
|
| Is the story "Terror in the Streets" missing an ending (after page 24)? |
|
| Thought I’d take a peek at this one – always been a sucker for swamp monsters. A trio of terror-filled tales introduced by the self-effacing Nameless One – what could possibly go wrong?
In Lost Souls, Robert Rankin loses his head over the lost treasure of the crusaders. The great revelation in this story is that ghosts can smoke – I wonder if it’s bad for their health?
A lost coven of three-hundred year old witches is at the centre of When Witches Summon. Looking suspiciously like my mother-in-law, the witches hang out with Professor Grimes and his Magic Flute in an impromptu ceilidh – what will become of Grimes in this deadly Danse Macabre?
What cannibalistic creatures live and crawl through the labyrinth of sewers beneath the streets of Paris? Inspector Vidac seeks to find them, which is all to the good as the creatures seek to find him! Guess who's coming to dinner?
In Come Die With Me, two medical students play a joke on a pal – but after one teasing transmigration, the joke loses its appeal as the students appear to lose
Shucks – despite the cover, nary a swamp monster to be seen! Maybe next time |
