i'm looking for the title of a short story where a husband hires a hitman to kill his wife and then starts calling her and tries to tell her about the murder plot.the title is related to telephone or phone call

Hi! I'm looking for the name of a short story that appeared in an AH anthology in the early 1970's in which a young boy who is annoyed with his critical caretakers (parents? grandparents? could have been an aunt and uncle)who don't allow him to do (and specifically, eat) what he wants. I think he ends up killing them, after which he quite dispassionately toasts himself a piece of bread on a fork over the fire. Does this ring a bell to anyone?

looking for the title to another short story-- There is a man who does not age and looks like 10 or 12 yr old boy. He comes to a town and starts living as an orphan with a family but has to move on at the point where people will start noticing that he is not getting older. I thought it was by Ray Bradbury, but cannot find it in his collections.

@Cindy Gullicksen: The story you're thinking of is Roald Dahl's "The Sound Machine" (1949). It's appeared in Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Stories for Late at Night, AHP: More Stories For Late at Night & AHP: Skeleton Crew.

Hi am looking for a short story where a Dr. and his receptionist murder the Dr.'s wife. Prior to the murder the receptionist makes phone calls to a help line, pretending to be the wife. They are caught because of a clock chiming in the background. I think the story was in an AH anthology. Can anyone help? Thank you..

I think I remember a story of the Fly in a collection that Alfred Hitchcock put together does anyone know which collection that would be. Also there was a story of a little girl being kept in her parents basement and she wasn't allowed to look outside. the story ended with her saying "I'll make them see green". Help with either of these would be appreciated thank you :)

I remember a story about a man who was hired by a clothing store that was experiencing high volumes of theft. He was made to watch women as they changed their clothes in the dressing room through a two way mirror. Does this ring a bell for anyone? I read it at a young age, my mom had a collection of stories that were selected by Hitchcock, and I remember being quite disturbed by it. I would like to revisit the story but I cant remember what it was called or who the author was...any help?

Hello mystery lovers! I look forward to disussing my obsession and reading all your posts. I love Hitch( of course) Ray Bradbury, Henry Slesar, and so many others!

To Rachel Chavez: re "Also there was a story of a little girl being kept in her parents basement and she wasn't allowed to look outside. the story ended with her saying "I'll make them see green"."

Try "Born of Man and Woman" by Richard Matheson. It generally fits your description, but it ends (with "green" reference: "I will screech and laugh loud. I will run on the walls. Last I will hang head down by all my legs and laugh and drip green all over until they are sorry they didn't be nice to me. If they try to beat me again Ill hurt them. I will."
