The Embalmers — shudder pulp

An interior illustration by Amos Sewell (1901-1983) for a story by Garry Grant, “The Embalmers,” in the March 1936 edition of Dime Mystery Magazine, a locus classicus of shudder pulp. Something tells me this young lady might not quite be ready for embalming.

The cover painting of the issue by Tom Lovell (1909-1997) appears to refer to the story.
