☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Lost City," a quiet moment between a mother and daughter sets off a chain of wonder and loss when the moon is shattered by a comet, leaving the tides still and the world changed. Years later, the daughter—now a mother herself—tries to share that forgotten truth with her own child, a story of a celestial force long gone. Written by Paul S. Newman and illustrated by Sol Brodsky, with a haunting cover by Carl Burgos, this 1974 tale blends melancholy and myth in a single, shimmering page.
In "Harry's Hideout," a desperate Harry Ward flees the scene of his grandfather’s murder, seeking shelter in a forgotten basement—only to discover he’s stumbled into a time capsule set to be sealed for 150 years. With the police closing in and time running out, he’s trapped in a moment that’s not his own, facing a future he never asked for.
In "Uncle Gideon's Gold," a desperate nephew pushes his elderly uncle to reveal the safe's combination, threatening him with the furnace below—only to kill him when the secret is exposed. When the nephew finally opens the safe, the gold inside isn't stored—it's molten, and it pours over him in a chilling, inescapable flood.
In "Mother Knows Best," a quiet moment between a mother and her daughter takes on cosmic weight when the mother insists the man in the moon controls the tides—her daughter skeptical, but the world soon proves her right in ways neither could have imagined. Years later, now a mother herself, the girl tries to pass on that same belief to her own child, as the sea’s silence speaks of a moon long gone.
