The Seventh Victim [1943] 1. They unlock the door. In the room is a single chair and, hanging from the ceiling, a noose. 2. “I’ve always wanted to die.” 3. Flickering overhead light in the hall.

Fiend Without a Face [1958] 1. Mental vampire. 2. The fiend is like a cross between the baby in Eraserhead and a mugwump from Naked Lunch. 3. The corpse, and beside the half-open coffin a pipe.
