The stories

“The House of Horrors, Chapter 1: The Adventures of a Writer's Fantasy”

The Flash comes face to face with a mystery writer who not only writes stories, but acts them out in order to make his stories more realistic. Inviting several of his actor friends to help out and scare Jay and Joan, the writer doesn't realize that real crooks have made their way onto the scene.

“The House of Horrors] Chapter II: Death Came to Dinner!”

A frustrated actor, kept from the Broadway stage by the writer, appears at dinner and shoots one of the actors. Everyone believes it to be real...then the Flash discovers the man is actually dead!

“The House of Horrors] Chapter 3: A Seance with the Dead”

After the murder, the Flash tracks down the killer and recovers the murder weapon. At this point, the writer re-writes his story to bring his ancestors (supposedly all warriors) into the picture, ancestors who have placed a curse on him for becoming a writer. So a seance is held to recall his ancestors...a seance that has a surprising result.

“The House of Horrors] Chapter IV: [Tendrils of the Will-o'-the-Wisps”

Surprisingly, all sorts of ancestors show up, one of which is destined to kill his writer-relative, and the Fastest Man Alive must battle him and the others, not realizing they are real crooks in disguise!
