Originally Aired: October 26, 1944 In Suspense #115, “The Night Man,” Stella Rhodes becomes convinced that Tom Nixon—the man who murdered her mother a decade ago and swore revenge—has escaped prison and is stalking her as the night elevator operator in her New York apartment. Haunted by memories and terror, Stella is driven to the edge of sanity in a harrowing, claustrophobic encounter where nothing is as it seems. Lucille Fletcher crafts a tale of obsession, mistaken identity, and a twist ending that blurs the line between guilt and innocence.
