We return with another short story from one of our favourite science fiction writers, Philip K. Dick.  Much of his work has received the Hollywood treatment, including "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" becoming "Blade Runner", and "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" getting the snappier title "Total Recall."  While "The Skull" itself has never been turned into a film, it is clear that some major movies have borrowed elements from this story...
