I hadn't heard of it before but it goes to show the kidnap and captivity plot has probably been with us longer that I thought. <br /><br /> Thanks Michael. I hope you find the tip useful too.

Your post has reminded me of another fictional work and a film dating back to 1965, The Collector http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059043/ . I can just remember it. It was not a comfortable watch, but I'm not typical. I mention this in case it is of interest. I do wish you every success.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3333041329776894277.post-48186489341161479932013-05-10T11:07:35.445-07:002013-05-10T11:07:35.445-07:00It's an intriguing idea and certainly original...It's an intriguing idea and certainly original - from death to life, perhaps?
