Super Science Fiction, August 1959

This August 1959 science fiction digest features "The Horror in the Attic" by Alex Merriman, a suspense story about Ed and Lina, a young eloping couple whose car breaks down in heavy rain. They discover an abandoned, decaying farmhouse and decide to shelter inside overnight. While exploring its dark, cobwebbed rooms by torchlight, Lina hears unsettling creaking sounds from upstairs, though the house appears long-deserted. Ed dismisses her supernatural concerns and proposes exploring further to find sleeping quarters. The issue also contains novelettes and short stories including "Planet of the Angry Giants" by Dirk Clinton, "Monsters That Once Were Men" by Eric Rodman, and "Birth of a Monster" by Richard Stark, plus a column called "Science Shorts" by Edgar P. Straus. The magazine includes advertisements for correspondence dance lessons and wall maps.
