This issue of Beyond Fantasy Fiction, edited by H. L. Gold, contains six stories spanning fantasy and science fiction. The lead novella, "Stream of Consciousness" by Roy Hutchins, explores consciousness-altering themes. The novelets include "Sizzlestick" by Sam Merwin Jr. and "Age Cannot Wither" by Cleve Cartmill. Short stories featured are "Dragon Lady" by Evelyn E. Smith—a fantasy about an 11th-century princess magically transformed into a dragon who exists for centuries at Loch Ness, hoping for a prince's kiss to break the curse, only to encounter a 20th-century zoologist; "The Paynim's Flute" by Ralph Spencer; "It's Colder Inside" by E. B. Bottles; and "They" by D. V. Gilder. The issue includes period advertisements and subscription promotions for Galaxy publications.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
