Where Monsters Dwell 1970 #21 - 7.5 - $26.00
A young historian from Taiwan is scorned by his father for his refusal to join the army, even in the face of an imminent communist invasion. Instead of fighting directly, he crosses to the mainland to awake the dragon Fin Fang Foom. He lures the dragon to the coast to wreck the invasion fleet, and then lures it back to its lair before restoring its mystical slumber.
A ghost scares off potential buyers of a derelict house.
A writer murders another writer to steal his work, but the dead writer's hands continue to make trouble for him. First, by framing him for the murder of his publisher, then by signing a confession to the killing, and finally by throwing the gallow's switch.
