Creepy Worlds #45
This anthology issue contains two distinct science fiction and horror tales. The first story depicts the crew of a spacecraft captained by Mr. Smith encountering an alien lifeform—a formless, intelligent being—that threatens humanity and argues for the crew's return to their home planet, ultimately leading to a desolate and tragic outcome on an alien world. The second story, "Witch's Way," is set in the year 1482 in Meckleburg, where frightened townspeople accuse a woman of witchcraft after a series of misfortunes including failed milk production and cursed crops, leading to the decision to burn her at the stake despite protests from those who doubt her guilt.
