Some good old fashioned brain-in-a-jar level science fiction this week! Originally published in If Worlds of Science Fiction April 1954 by Gene L. Henderson. When does life begin? A well-known book says 'forty'. A well-known radio program says 'eighty'. Some folks say it's mental, others say it's physical. But take the strange case of Mel Carlson who gave a lot of thought to the matter.

Sit back and enjoy the first flight of Tall Man, Short Stories! This first episode is the retelling of The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell (Also published as The Hounds of Zaroff) originally published in Collier's on January 19th, 1924. There's danger lurking around every corner of General Zaroff's hidden island, can the dashing and extravagantly named Sanger Rainsford make it out in one piece?
