"The Beast in the Berg" depicts the crew of the ship Penguin discovering an artificial iceberg with a terrifying creature aboard, with military orders to destroy the berg despite the danger it poses to their vessel. Additional stories featured include "The Beginning and the End" and "The Evil Eye," with the editor's notes promising eerie, hair-raising tales for midnight reading.
