Amazing Stories of Suspense #182

In "Freddy's Friend!", a curious alien robot longs to experience humanity and strikes a deal with a greedy man to swap lives, hoping to uncover the source of his newfound wealth. When the robot’s alien allies arrive to retrieve him, they misidentify the human in their place and send him away—back to Earth, but not before he’s locked away in a psychiatric asylum, convinced of his own delusions.

In "The World That Vanished," an explorer stumbles upon a forgotten library in the East, where ancient books recount the tragic tale of Atlantis—its downfall not from war or flood, but from a single, forbidden act. A commoner, driven by love, drinks a black magic potion to win the heart of the vizier’s daughter, only to grow too vast for the world to contain, dragging the island beneath the waves before vanishing into the void.
