Clark Carrados: Final de Trayecto: El Infierno

This pulp magazine installment, *Final de Trayecto: El Infierno* (End of the Line: Hell) by Clark Carrados, presents a supernatural revenge narrative. A destitute woman named Helen Hunnicut, contemplating suicide in a park, encounters a mysterious man named Arghaddon who claims to be the devil. Arghaddon offers Helen a Faustian bargain: he will provide the means for her to exact vengeance against the people who ruined her financially, provided she knows when to stop. If she crosses the line, her soul becomes his. After mysteriously producing five thousand dollars, Arghaddon vanishes. Helen uses the money to rebuild her life. Within a year, she has become wealthy and successful. At a society party, archaeologist Gary Patterson encounters the transformed Helen, learning from acquaintances that she has systematically destroyed her former enemies through business dealings, though the narrative leaves her ultimate fate ambiguous.
