Summary

The man from the past and his dauntless friends face perils both new and familiar! In the distant Ring Planet System, the alien Kasynari and their human allies Xij and Tom venture to the forbidden moon of Portal, hoping to access a space station that may have survived the recent disaster that brought the Kasynari civilization to the brink of destruction. While the they’re gone, though, Vasraa is scheming... Back on Earth, the parallel Rulfan learns about his self from this world, while the nefarious Aran Kormak leads postapocalyptic Scottish gangsters in an attack on the Refuge of Knowledge at Loch Lomond. Scarcely have Matt and his friends surmounted this challenge before they must venture to a new parallel world area: a version of Paris ruled by a grotesque king of Taratzes! Finally, Matt and company return to Rhaaka, city of the Dinoroids, bearing sad news...only to find a civil war is breaking out?! And if that weren’t enough, an Archivist is meddling with the situation too!

    Time Pussy by Isaac Asimov - Four-dimensional cats? Who ever heard of such a thing? Old Mac had seen these Time Pussies with his own eyes! 
This was told me long ago by old Mac, who lived in a shack just over the hill from my old house. He had been a mining prospector out in the old asteroids during the Rush of '37, and spent most of his time now in feeding his 7 cats. 
"What makes you like cats so much, Mr Mac?" I asked him. 
The old miner looked at me and scratched his chin. "Well," he said, "they reminds me o' me beetle pets on Pallas. They was something like cats—same kind of head, sort o'—and the cleverest leetle fellers y' ever saw. All dead!"

    An ancient mirror. A missing boy. A reality twisted by dark forces beyond comprehension. 
In this eerie and cerebral tale of supernatural horror, Henry S. Whitehead and H. P. Lovecraft blend gothic dread with cosmic terror. The Trap follows the mysterious disappearance of Robert Grandison, a student at a quiet schoolhouse, shortly after the arrival of an antique mirror retrieved from a decaying estate. His tutor, Canevin, soon uncovers that the mirror is more than an object—it’s a portal to a strange, warped dimension where time fractures, forms mutate, and lost souls linger. 
As Canevin pieces together the truth, he encounters the lingering presence of Axel Holm, the mirror’s original owner, whose hunger for immortality has cursed the glass with malevolent power. With Robert’s life—and sanity—hanging in the balance, Canevin must confront the eldritch forces that lie just beyond the surface of the mirror… before it’s too late. 
This chilling short story offers Lovecraftian horror with a psychological edge, where science meets sorcery and no reflection can be trusted.
