Summary
IN THIS EPISODE: It’s #ThrillerThursday where I bring you stories of fiction! In this tale fro Stanley Ellin – a tale deemed too disturbing for Alfred Hitchcock’s TV show - two men of very different character, different ways of viewing the world, challenge one another over the future of a house each values in his own way. A bet is made, the stakes are unexpectedly raised, and in the end… well, suffice it to say that the story lingers long past the closing line.
