Selección Terror: La mansión de los mil y un horrores

Catalog Note *La mansión de los mil y un horrores* (The Mansion of a Thousand and One Horrors), by Joseph Berna, is the 350th volume in Editorial Bruguera's *Selección Terror* collection (November 1979). The narrative opens in Munich's Baviera Club, a nightclub where stripper Renate Beyer performs, followed by a debut performance by Inge Zinn—who executes an elaborate comic act: posing as an eighty-year-old woman complete with period costume and prosthetics before revealing herself as the young performer underneath. A well-dressed man named Jorg Thiede approaches Inge afterward, offering substantial payment (2,500 marks) for a private performance at his residence. Inge accepts. The text then shifts to introduce photographer Hans Klein and aspiring model Carla Stecher, who travels with him to an isolated location for photo shoots. The narrative suggests sinister developments await at Thiede's residence, described as an ancient, forbidding mansion known locally as "The Mansion of a Thousand and One Horrors."
