Natica Nason! What a name. What a whole heap of "scantily-clad trouble"! (© Tom Mason) Leo Morey Gates Alexander - Virgins of the Stone Death: The glorious young body of the girl Terry Grant loved was fated to feel the cold embrace of death, instead of his own warm, protecting one — as her shapely limbs turned slowly into solid stone! Colonel Marks is among many rich men to receive the most horrific ransom demand from someone that signing itself 'Achmed ben Hassen.' Hand over $200, 000 or his daughter, Myra, will be abducted and turned, "rather terribly," to stone! Rather than pay up, Hawks hires professional adventurer Terry Grant to act as Myra's bodyguard, but before you can say 'love interest', the extortionist has made good his threat. Myra is petrified. Hawks blames Grant for Myra's death, even accusing him of collusion. Neither is Chief Inspector Littleman a fan. From now on, Terry's mission is personal! Achmed ben Hassen - 'Allah' to his underlings - admires the young man's tenacity and has him fetched to his secret Moorish Castle in the South Carolina hills. Grant is drugged with hashish and gifted Elana, a veiled beauty in metal bra and diaphanous harem pants as his "slave." Paradise on earth is his if he will only throw in his lot with ben Hassen's organisation. Refuse, and it's the stone death! Limb-lopping scimitar action, serial thigh flashing, kamikaze assassins who inject themselves with instant rigor mortis rather than be taken alive, audacious Scooby doo ending — Virgins of the Stone Death is the nearest Eerie Stories came to providing an authentic shudder pulp.
