Synopsis for "My Brother Talks To Bats!"
Our narrator is a boy who lives in the Hungarian village of Sverna. His older brother George frequently sneaks out of the house and goes to a nearby castle which is said to have once been the home of Dracula. There, George finds a group of giant bats, and he talks to them about his worrying urges to drink human blood. When his parents learn that he is conflicted over this, they put him in chains and throw him in the basement--because Sverna is a vampire village, and it wouldn't do for a respectable family to have a half-human son!

Synopsis for "The Strange Hat"
Professor Hiram Walker traveled to Africa to study and befriend a tribe of African headhunters who long ago he saved their former chief from a lion. Professor Enoch Thurston would routinely receive letters from Walker in their home city of London, informing him of his time with the tribe. After sometime without a letter Thurston received one in which Walker described himself teaching the tribe of their culture but in exchange to not offend Walker learned how to shrink heads. Walker concluded the letter asking for a hat after Chief Tunga took a liking to his own.
In Africa Walker continued to work with the tribe but soon found that their pleasant attitude was beginning to fade after more and more of Tunga's enemies were pouring in for their heads to be shrunken. It was at this time Walker received a response package from Thurston that of some fine brandy, carton of cigarettes, and a tiny hat meant as a joke. The package made Walker smile as he shared the cigarettes with the tribe and the brandy with Tunga.
Sometime later without receiving letters Thurston became worried. Soon after however he did receive a letter but not from Walker... instead it was from Tunga thanking Thurston for the hat as it fits Professor Walker's head perfectly.

He goes to the secret cellar where he stores his money, but finds himself cornered by a gigantic, human-sized rat which has the face of the old woman!
