A closer examination reveals the horrifying fact that the ragged bundle is indeed that of a dead man in a state of advanced death and decay.But when he calls attention to the morbid display, the strange reactions of his friends and neighbours bring him to a disturbing realization.The Hanging Stranger was first published in Science Fiction Adventures Magazine December 1953. Philip Kendrick Dick (1928-1982) was an American science fiction author.
