Show Notes

This week we bring you “The Most Dangerous Game” or “The Hounds of Zaroff” by Richard Connell. This story inspired the movie with Joel McCray, and was his most popular work. There is a new film based on this story releasing this week. It’s called “The Hunt” with Hilary Swank. It looks interesting, but the subtleties and nuances that make this story great are lost in a 21st century film. He wrote many screenplays during his life, but he wrote over 300 short stories.
