*sigh* i haven't read this one since the '70s, & i seriously doubt i still own anything that includes it. (it was the title story of an reh collection from, i believe, lancer circa the late '60s. probably it was in skullface & others, too, but my copy of the neville-spearman facsimile reprint went away at the same time as the lancer pb & another couple of thousand of my books, some 21 1/2 years ago. *deeper sigh*)
if memory serves, this one was memorably adapted for tv back in the late '50s or early '60s, though offhand i can't remember the show ... thriller? alfred hitchcock presents? i've never seen it, but i'm thinking i *might* have it as a bootleg dvd-r add-on somewhere ... dan -------------- Original message from Al Griffith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: -------------- > I finally got around to reading Robert E.
