The Hands of Death - The Sealed Book

“The Hands of Death” is the inaugural episode of the 1945 radio horror anthology The Sealed Book, created by Robert A. Arthur Jr. and David Kogan. This macabre tale delves into the deadly rivalry between two brothers, Edward and Cain Morlock, both entangled in a web of murder and obsession.Edward Morlock is a wheelchair-bound recluse with a morbid fascination: he collects murder memorabilia—knives, ropes, and other grim artifacts. His collection lacks one final piece: the hands of an actual murderer. His brother, Cain, recently released from prison and known as the San Francisco Strangler, fits this criterion perfectly.
