Contents Include: Blood Money by David Karp; Taste by Roald Dahl; Everything is Wild by James Thurber; The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell; The Wager by Anton Chekhov; Two Days Wasted in Kansas City by William Saroyan, Swindler's Luck by Ben Hecht; Katz by Nelson Algren; A Piece of Pie by Damon Runyon; Elementals by Stephen Vincent Benet; The Rocking-Horse Winner by D.
