Silver Kane: Un lío de faldas en el infierno

Museum Catalog Entry This Spanish pulp magazine installment (Collection "Selección Terror" #266, April 1978) presents "Un Lío de Faldas en el Infierno" by Silver Kane—a supernatural thriller set in Paris. The narrative follows Paul, an unemployed journalist who steals an unusually well-preserved skull from an archaeological excavation at the Ivry Cemetery (a medieval Norman colony site). He trades the skull to his landlady, Madame Blanchard, to settle his lodging debt. That night, the increasingly unhinged Blanchard attempts to murder Paul in his shower with a knife, calling him a murderer while displaying signs of hysteria and terror at the sight of him. Paul subdues her and she flees, her expression revealing inexplicable horror. The fragment concludes with a Sunday celebration as another tenant, Michel, announces a new mysterious, lucrative job. The story suggests supernatural corruption connected to the stolen skull.
