"The best part of the Chamber of Chills run begins with #16; every issue from this one forward contains work by Powell and/or Nostrand. Issue #16 has a story, 'Cycle of Horror,' which exemplifies another very common plot in Pre-Code Horror: the guy who repeatedly undergoes the same traumatic experience only to end up discovering that he's in hell. In this one, a murderer on the lam keeps renting rooms in flophouses only to find the rapidly decaying corpse of his victim always got there first!" — George Suarez, Tales To Terrible To Tell #8. NEC: 1993, p. 29.
