Harold McCauley’s third cover for Imaginative Tales.

Our showgirl’s minor predicament here is part of a reasonably lighthearted story “Black Magic Holiday” written by…Robert Bloch (1917-1994)? The one-time teenaged correspondent of H.P. Lovecraft who would go on to write the novel that is the source-text for Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho? The world is a complex place. (And let’s face it, writers have to make a living somehow.)

The interior pages of this story contain the usual generous portions of tasty cheesecake, also by McCauley.
