Strange Suspense Stories #62

An anthology issue featuring multiple suspense tales. "The Beast from Taurus II" depicts a space crew encountering a massive alien creature that attacks their ship; the crew uses acid gas bombs to render it unconscious and safely contain it. Another story follows a young reporter and girl who encounter a real witch in an isolated house; the witch reveals she will ride a broomstick across the moon at a sabbath and offers to make the reporter a witch to save her cursed parents, though the reporter escapes and the incident remains unbelievable to authorities. A third tale involves a magician's rope trick that seemingly causes his disappearance, leaving only his clothing and a mysterious coil behind.
