The Crawling Hand

“Astronaut Ordered Blown Up!!!”

A space capsule is blown up in orbit while its astronaut begs to be killed, and soon afterward a teenage couple finds a severed arm on a remote beach. Paul Lawrence (Rod Lauren) takes it home, where it starts to move, and whatever animates it begins working on his mind too. Herbert L. Strock keeps the story small and the hours late, letting the dread build around one young man and his findings.
