Horrific #7
This anthology issue contains three stories: "Rain of Death" by Larry Sanger, in which a rainmaker uses a silver-iodide seeding generator to create precipitation, inadvertently allowing a prospector to discover metallic sodium in the grease at the bottom of the seed tube—leading to a demonstration that traps the prospector in a ring of fire. "The She-Beast" follows Jock Carver, a former jungle hunter with a fever who is pursued through the jungle by a mysterious female creature, ultimately succumbing to her attack. "Death Song!" depicts Henri Marleau, a murdered man whose spirit haunts his rival musician George Ricco through a supernatural melody, driving Ricco to madness as the dead man's voice commands him to leave and declares him dead.
