Cover blurb:
HE SAW HIS HAND MELT AWAY - The young space explorer looked into the mirror. He saw his image twist into a slimy mess of writhing worms. He tore his eyes from the image and glanced down at his hand. A scream ripped from his throat. His cry echoed as if every pane of glass in the Mirror Room was mocking him. Now the arm was changing too, twisting like something independently alive ---
