Selección Terror: ¡Arde, hermosa bruja!

This Spanish-language pulp horror magazine contains "¡Arde, hermosa bruja!" ("Burn, Beautiful Witch!") by Curtis Garland (1975). The story opens with a vivid depiction of a witch-burning in 1665 in the Hungarian county of Gorkoburg under the authority of Judge and Lutheran Reverend Viktor Gorko. A woman named Devla is burned at the stake while crowds chant; an executioner named Svodk decapitates her to prevent her resurrection as a vurdalak (Russian vampire/demon-possessed being), but her severed head falls into a ravine and is never recovered. Gorko orders Svodk to keep this loss secret from the fearful populace. The narrative then jumps two centuries forward to find a traveling stranger arriving by carriage in the town of Szóksvar during a cold, windy evening, implying the story's continuation will involve the consequences of the lost witch's head.
