Originally Aired: August 22, 1946 In Suspense #207, “The Great Horrell,” Alma, the long-suffering assistant and wife of the famed mind-reader Martin Horrell, is desperate to reclaim her autonomy. When she begins to suspect her husband can truly read her mind—even across oceans—Alma spirals into paranoia, fear, and ultimately violence. But as her grip on reality unravels, a new and even more disturbing truth emerges. Who really holds power over her thoughts—and what price must she pay for freedom? A psychological thriller where performance and delusion collide.
