Crime Mysteries #14

1952-07-01 · 37 pages

Crime Mysteries #14 is an anthology containing at least two stories. "Painted in Blood" follows a young couple, Jane and Roy, who visit a supposedly haunted house where an artist named John Slade murdered his model and then committed suicide; the story is resolved when Slade's uncle reveals he staged the haunting with fake blood to scare them away from the house. "The Murdered Murderer" depicts a police investigation into a serial killer who has claimed two victims, with a detective pursuing the case and an intruder with supernatural abilities entering a victim's apartment. The issue also includes a text story about the historical murder of Mary Rogers, a "cigar girl" found floating in the Hudson River, which Edgar Allan Poe attempted to solve through deductive reasoning, though the case ultimately remained unsolved.
