Dark Journey: A Will to Kill and the Shadow of Love

Originally Aired: April 25, 1946 In Suspense #190, “Dark Journey,” Nancy Kelly and Kathy Lewis star in Lucille Fletcher’s haunting two-woman play. Anne Brody is consumed by obsessive love for Clyde Dexter, convinced her willpower alone can bind him to her. With her friend Alice as uneasy witness, Anne wills herself into his life—until Clyde’s domineering mother is struck dead by an “unknown assailant.” Anne believes her own psychic force killed the woman, yet the truth is darker: Clyde himself carries the murderous weakness. Years later, Anne has everything she dreamed—marriage, children, the Riverdale house—until fate reclaims her in death, leaving Alice to recall the terrible cost of her friend’s unnatural will. A chilling tale of obsession, power, and the unseen hand of destruction.
