In "Jibaro Madness," a group of explorers seeking the secret of head-shrinking are captured by the deranged Maximo, who shrinks them to doll size and sets out to decapitate them.

Dr. Albert Carlton takes a calculated risk, drugging himself to cross into the realm of death for a brief, controlled tour—just long enough to return and recount the experience. But even with a plan in place, the journey beyond the veil proves more unpredictable than any scientist could have foreseen.
