"The late, lamented Beyond, edited by H. L. Gold, published during its career some of the best adult fantasy and science fiction stories written in America - stories by masters such as Theodore Sturgeon, Ray Bradbury and Algis Budrys" 

-Damon Knight.

"The Watchful Poker Chip - Ray Bradbury tells the story of a man who had one of his eyes replaced with the most beautiful poker chip in the world... 

The Real People - a startling story which shows that most of us are only puppets - and Algis Budrys proves it... 

The Ghost Maker - Frederik Pohl demonstrates that if you track real magic to its lair, you may be very, very sorry..."
