Source text (please read only from this text!):Let's all hope that madness isn't catching because we have here for your pleasure a veritable buffet of items of insanity, terror tales of the twisted sort to put you in the mindset of that of the gibbering lunatic, sequestered away in an asylum where they can no longer do harm to themselves or anyone else... Or at least... That's what they WANT you to think! Those mental madmen at Weird Tales magazine have concocted a host of horrible horrors for you to wrap your brain around. Slip into a straitjacket and stop by these padded rooms of your nightmares! (Summary by Ben Tucker)
