I appreciate that. I discussed "With Folded
Hands" with Williamson in correspondence decades
back. He was really proud of the work. YOU
should read it, Richard. It really is
frightening. I think it is available on
Google. If not, I will scan a copy and send it to you.
In any event, White Castle slyders are nasty,
greasy, undercooked filth. A rejection of decent food.
Horrible stuff.

Well, of course I have read it. Its several anthologies.
It was also one of the earliest of the stories dramatized on
_Dimension X_ an experimental SF radio program which was a
summer replacement for somthing on NBC in the late 1940's.
This show was later re-titled _X Minus One_. I think the
earlier ones were better. It became quite cutesey tongue in
cheek in its later days. There are a number of these shows
at http://www.archive.org Like everything else there the
quality varies from pretty good to unlistenable. The show
was recorded at NBC in New York, a few original tapes
survive; they are very high quality. I originally heard the
story on this program, it gave me nightmares.
