In Great Stories of Suspense & Adventure, six spine-tingling experiences await you.

  • You'll visit a sun-baked garden in India, where silent death lurks in the tall grass.
  • In the peaceful English countryside, you'll be given a gift too terrible for words.
  • On a lush plantation in Brazil, you'll battle an army of tiny soldiers who turn a man into a skeleton in the blink of an eye.
  • On trial for your life, your fate will hang in the hands of a friend who just might wish you dead.
  • Deep in the frozen Yukon north, you'll confront a danger that's beyond human understanding.
  • On a tropical island, you'll meet a charming fellow who loves to hunt—and he has you in mind as his target.
