People hunt and kill one another as public entertainment and to win prizes in 'Seventh Victim,' the short version of Sheckley's novel The 10th Victim, which was made into a movie. The twelve other stories in this collection are 'The Monsters,' 'Cost of Living,' 'The Altar,' 'Shape,' 'The Impacted Man,' 'Untouched by Human Hands,' 'The King's Wishes,' 'Warm,' 'The Demons,' 'Specialist,' 'Ritual,' and 'Beside Still Waters.' From the very beginning of his career, Robert Sheckley was recognized by fans, reviewers, and fellow authors as a master storyteller and the wittiest satirist working in the science fiction field. Open Road is proud to republish his acclaimed body of work, with nearly thirty volumes of full-length fiction and short story collections. Rediscover, or discover for the first time, a master of science fiction who, according to the New York Times, was 'a precursor to Douglas Adams.'
