September, 1935
Death Calls from the Madhouse by Hugh B. Cave: Women are committing suicide after changing their beneficiaries to madhouse inmates.
The Devil's Gift by Raymond Whetstone: Remember the Monkey's Paw? Well this is completely different. It's a magic ring. And also all a dream.
City of the Scarlet Plague by Nat Schachner: A town is overrun by grey-hooded dead men. Ear pincer torture.
Mother of Monsters by Roger Howard Norton: A woman visiting her uncle ends up in a very wrong house. The creepiest premise yet in weird menace - a circus performer is angry that his horse-riding wife is pregnant, so he forces her to wear a steel corset keep her figure. The baby is born deformed and he sells it as a freak. He makes so much money he continues the practice, force his wife to be a mutant baby farmer.
The Living Flame by Robert Sidney Bowen: Mad scientists and a killer in the house
The Bath of Blood by H. M. Appel: Cult cattle ranchers
Satan's Lash by Arthur J. Burks: Creepy uncle promises his niece to his creepy friend. When she hooks up with her true love, they are whipped and she is sent to an asylum run by a creepy doctor. A rarity - written from a female first-person perspective, which got awkward when she was describing her own boobs.
