Home Is the Hunter

Henry Kuttner & C. L. Moore

First published July 1953
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

Synopsis

The measure of the man is how many heads he has hunted in the Central Park. And you also get all the heads the victim has managed to gather. A man who is fairly close to the top of the ranking gets upstaged as another competitor makes a valuable kill, but he has a clever plan to get to the top spot in one sweep.

Notes

C. L. Moore is credited as co-writer only on the first publication in Galaxy Magazine. The story is sometimes credited to Kuttner alone and other times by both.
