Description
Tennessee Williams Lost Play Issue + Two-Year Subscription (9 Issues)
Begin with a lost play by Tennessee Williams—then stay with The Strand for two full years.
This package includes the landmark issue featuring The Strangers, a complete, previously unpublished radio play written by Tennessee Williams in 1938 and published here for the first time—plus a two-year subscription to The Strand Magazine (8 issues total).
Written years before A Streetcar Named Desire and The Glass Menagerie, The Strangers is a haunting supernatural drama set in a storm-battered house on the New England coast. Flickering candlelight, a restless lighthouse beam, unseen presences, and creeping psychological dread drive a story that blurs the line between imagination and reality. The play reveals early versions of the themes that would later define Williams’s work: isolation, fear, memory, and the quiet terror of the mind turning inward. The full text appears here in its entirety—not as an excerpt or summary.
This issue also includes in-depth interviews with:
-
Michael Connelly, on crime fiction, legacy, and the enduring pull of noir
-
Patricia Cornwell, discussing Scarpetta, forensic storytelling, and the evolution of the genre
In addition, the issue features new fiction by Steve Hamilton, Margie Deck, Mike Robinson, and other leading voices in mystery and suspense—making it one of the strongest and most talked-about issues we’ve published in years.
For more than 25 years, The Strand has earned its reputation by pairing major literary discoveries with exclusive interviews and new fiction by bestselling authors. Past issues have featured writing and conversations with Michael Connelly, Jeffery Deaver, Faye Kellerman, Alexander McCall Smith, David Baldacci, Harlan Coben, Sue Grafton, and others—alongside newly uncovered or unpublished work by Agatha Christie, Shirley Jackson, Raymond Chandler, James M. Cain, H.G. Wells, and P.G. Wodehouse.

-

-
You don’t miss upcoming discoveries, interviews, and exclusives
-
You receive The Strand uninterrupted for the next eight issues
Each issue is printed in a large-format, full-color edition on glossy, high-quality paper, designed to be collected and kept.
