Selección Terror: La Fábrica de Cadáveres
· 1976

This Spanish-language terror publication presents "La fábrica de cadáveres" (The Cadaver Factory) by Clark Carrados. The story begins with Charlotte Faversham, a forty-year-old woman, receiving a terminal diagnosis from Dr. Christopher Studder—she is rapidly aging. Within days, her appearance transforms drastically; she ages decades, her teeth fall out, and she dies in an office building elevator, causing panic among witnesses. The narrative shifts to Bryce Hall, a man from Palm Beach whose wife Betty runs away with a wealthy man named Eddie Tripp Bowles. Hall gets drunk and accidentally stows away on a ship, discovering while hidden that Betty and Bowles died in a car accident. The ship arrives at Peak Island, where Hall escapes. He encounters nudists on the island and discovers a natural circular pool formation on a rocky promontory. The narrative establishes a mysterious island setting that hints at unusual activities and danger ahead.
