Here's another tale of terror for y'all. Once again from the classic yet short-lived series from the now defunct Eclipse comic company. Not exactly sure why anthologies always have a shorter life-span than regular continuing series, but I guess that's the nature of the game; western readers seem to prefer much longer stories, I guess.
This story here is one that most definitely has it's roots firmly planted in the old EC tradition. All that's missing is a creepy narrator to make a bad pun at the end. But it works just as well without it.
