In Suspense #224, “The Thing in the Window,” a reclusive actor named Martin Ames becomes obsessed with what he believes is a corpse seated in a chair across the street. Night after night, he watches the window, convinced he sees the lifeless body, despite reassurances from neighbors, the superintendent, and even the police that nothing is there. As the line between perception and paranoia blurs, Ames spirals deeper into obsession—until he takes chilling action to ensure his vision becomes real. A macabre psychological thriller from Lucille Fletcher, famed for “Sorry, Wrong Number,” starring Joseph Cotten in a masterclass of suspense and descent into madness.
