Leigh Allen freely admitted that he loved Cornell’s short tale. He remarked that it “was the best story that I read in high school”. He earnestly told detectives as much when interrogated , similar to being at a Canada customs border office , in that hot refinery office. Connell’s story existed as a book and film. Which influenced the Zodiac – the printed story or the movie. It will never be known and in a way is it of great concern or value. What matters is that the influence – the great influence was there for the taking and the effect, and effects.
Subtle differences indicate and indicated which . It was possible thus to learn when ” a terrible thought crept like a snake” into Zodiac’s brain/ “The most dangerous game ” printed in Variety and published by Minton Balch and Company in 1924 won the O.Henry Memorial Award for that year. The printed version, included in adventure anthologies and high school texts ever since can be said to go like this:
Sanger Rainsford , a big game hunter , falls overboard from his yacht. Stranded, he hears the report of a .22 , and thinks that the hunter must have nerve to tackle large game with so light a gun. He meets General Zaroff, a sadistic Russian expatriate sportsman . ( It is interesting to note the similarity and likeness of the name Zaroff to the name “Zodiac”, hunts at night with different weapons to make the hunt even more exciting. When Rainsford says that he considers the Cape Buffalo the most dangerous of all game , Zaroff (Zodiac) corrects him. “No you are wrong… here on my preserve on (Ship-Trap Island) , I hunt the most dangerous game… My hand was made for the trigger my father indeed said…. My whole life has been one long prolonged hunt… I enjoy the problems of the chase ( so ) I had to invent a new animal to hunt. I bought the island , built the house ( an ancient castle with towers) and a gargoyle- shaped door knocker) , and here i do my hunting.
“Surrounding are jungles with mazes of trails , hills and swamps” Every day I hunt and never go bored now, for I have a quarry with which I can match my wits”.
