When the famous hunter Sanger Rainsford is stranded on an island in the Caribbean, he soon learns to his horror which prey is the most dangerous game. Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game" has been often collected in anthologies, often referenced in writing manuals, and adapted for the big screen more than a dozen times. This collection also includes Ernest Hemingway's "The Killers," Saki's "Sredni Vashtar," Jack London's "To Build a Fire," Ambrose Bierce's "The Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," H. G. Wells's "The Country of the Blind," and the classic thrillers W. W. Jacobs' "Captain Rogers" and Carl Stephenson's "Leiningen versus the Ants."
