ABOUT THE STORY
Hubbard’s story “The Death Flyer,” is his earliest blending of mystery and the supernatural. In this superbly crafted story, a runaway passenger train speeds forever from the past into the future, racing toward an unknowable destiny.
And so begins a strange encounter with a young girl in a flame-colored dress.
This masterful tale still holds the same unremitting suspense today that it did more than six decades ago, in April 1936, upon its original release. It embodies qualities detailed in the article “Suspense,” included in this volume, of which L. Ron Hubbard said “the most intangible thing in this business of writing is that quantity ‘Suspense.’”
