As his cruel uncle threatens to destroy it, the boy realizes the train is real, and with it, his only chance to survive. Art by Robert Q. Sale brings the eerie, dreamlike tension to life, while the cover by Larry Lieber and Frank Giacoia captures the chilling mystery of the moment.
In "Beware... the Bees!", a greedy man takes up beekeeping for the money, then risks everything by injecting himself with an experimental serum to withstand stings—only to wake up transformed into a giant bee. The story unfolds with chilling precision, blending body horror and suspense as his new form begins to reshape his world.
In "The Toy Train," a lonely orphan named Jo is given a mysterious train set by a stranger, only to find himself shrinking to ride it—real, not dreamlike—when his cruel uncle threatens to destroy it. As the boy navigates the miniature world with growing dread, the line between reality and illusion blurs, and the train becomes both sanctuary and weapon.
