☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains at least two stories: "Vengeance of the Vault," in which a bank employee trapped in a locked vault with a colleague must use ingenuity to escape after the safety catch fails, ultimately resulting in the rescue of both men and the confession of Otto Putman, who had embezzled funds; and a second story featuring a man named Fred Cotton who experiences precognitive dreams that come true, leading him to question whether his dreams are genuine visions of the future or merely coincidence, and ultimately inspiring him to focus on his job performance rather than relying on his dreams.
When a German scientist's dangerous experiment goes catastrophically wrong, he unleashes a sentient fog creature that can shapeshift into human form—a being with terrifying powers and no conscience to restrain it. Alfred Meitzer finds himself hunted through his own home by his horrifying creation, desperately searching for a way to stop something that bullets cannot pierce and reason cannot reach. In this chilling tale from *Creepy Worlds* #38, a man discovers that sometimes the most dangerous discovery is one that cannot be undone.
Gary North, a science fiction writer struggling to meet a deadline, falls asleep at his desk and finds himself in a strange satellite orbiting Earth—where he learns a shocking truth about the nature of his own existence. An old man explains that humanity fled a devastated Earth long ago and now lives in dreams, projecting their consciousness into imagined lives across countless dimensions, and that Gary himself may be nothing more than a projected thought-image from someone else's mind. As Gary searches desperately to find his "dreamer," the line between reality and illusion blurs in ways that will make him question everything he thought he knew about the world around him.
In "Dream On...!", a man haunted by prophetic dreams finds his visions growing too real—when he dreams of a robot uprising, he seeks out a famed robotics scientist to warn him. What he discovers is chilling: the scientist is a robot, and his dream of a machine-led future is already in motion.
