Forbidden Worlds #31
This is an anthology issue containing at least two stories. "The Horrors of Mu!" depicts a man who discovers evidence of the lost continent of Mu in ancient ruins and becomes obsessed with translating inscriptions about Ummu, a ghostly god worshipped by the land's inhabitants, only to face dire consequences for his discovery. "Masquerade" follows an arrogant young art critic named Boone Forbes who dismisses a sculptor's abstract work as nonsense at an art show opening, but the sculpture comes to life and pursues him with deadly intent, forcing him to confront what he has created through his cruelty.
