Summary

Big-game hunter Sanger Rainsford has washed ashore on isolated Ship-Trap Island in the Caribbean Sea. On the island he finds the palatial château of General Zaroff and his hungry hounds. There, Rainsford becomes party to a twisted sport. Zaroff hunts too. And his preferred game is human.

The trapped and terrified Rainsford is given a three-hour advantage to disappear into the jungle. If he can survive for three days, he will be set free. Beyond that, there are no rules. It’s Rainsford’s need to survive versus Zaroff’s desire to kill. Time to play.

Regarded as one of the most popular short stories ever written, Richard Connell’s O. Henry Award winner remains a lean masterpiece of relentless suspense.

Revised edition: Previously published as The Most Dangerous Game, this edition of The Most Dangerous Game (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
