The title comes from Revelations 6:8, which in the King James Version says, "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him." Hook is that each section starts with "His name was" or "Her name was." The book begins, "Her name was Joyce Dugan, and at four o'clock on this February afternoon she had no remote thought that within the hour before closing time she was about to commit an act that would instigate a chain of murders." The last section, just a couple of pages long, begins, "His name was Death, and he waited for ____." After Dugan, the focus moves around a few other people, primarily her boss, Darius Conn, who runs a print shop. The year before he'd killed his wife and gotten away with it, and now he's feeling bold and very confident. He's got a plan, and no-one's going to get in his way.

These ominous words seized the nation's attention and launched one of the most chilling television series of all time—the Outer Limits™. Recently revived, the new show is as startling as the original. Now you can read the landmark stories that inspired the best Outer Limits episodes, old and new. Venture into mind-bending new worlds with this second volume in the Prima Publishing series. "The Choice" by Diane Duane Aggie is a child with extraordinary powers—and no idea of how to control them. An organization of women with similar powers exists only to kidnap such young girls and "save" them from the government?s ?experiments.? Who will win the struggle for Aggie's life? "Arena" by Fredric Brown This intriguing account of controlled combat pits the heroes of two races in a struggle for the survival of their species. Outer Limits fans will recognize the 1960s episode Fun and Games in the roots of this story. "The Message" by Richard A. Lupoff When a deaf woman starts to hear for the first time, it should be good news. But what if all she can hear are incomprehensible "messages" from outer space? ?A Feasibility Study? by Michael Marano Feasibility studies are useful to find out if a new bridge is worth building. But if the purpose of the study is to see if the human race is worth abducting: what would you do to stop it? The Outer Limits™ is a trademark of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc.

1948 Edgar Award Winner! Ed Hunter is eighteen, and he isn't happy. He doesn't want to end up like his father, a linotype operator and a drunk, married to a harridan, with a harridan-in-training stepdaughter. Ed wants out, he wants to live, he wants to see the world before it's too late. Then his father doesn't come home one night, and Ed finds out how good he had it. The bulk of the book has Ed teaming up with Uncle Ambrose, a former carny worker, and trying to find out who killed Ed's dad. But the title is as much a coming-of-age tale as it is a pulp. Author Brown won the Edgar award in 1947 for this spectacular first-effort.
