In a tired New York boarding house, neglect lingers in the corners long after the tenants have gone to bed. The rooms are overheated in winter, stifling in false spring, and chilled again by careless decisions. No one pays attention to what collects behind the radiator. No one asks what heat and moisture can do when left alone too long. In a house where no one looks closely and no one listens carefully, something begins to stir in the silence.

Donald A. Wollheim turns the ordinary into something deeply unsettling. A tired worker dies and no one questions it. A restless newcomer lies awake, smoking in the dark, unaware that the room is no longer empty. What makes this story linger is not spectacle but inevitability. The threat is small. It is patient. And when the temperature drops, it moves toward the only source of warmth left in the room. By the time anyone understands what happened, the explanation will be painfully simple.

Donald A. Wollheim was one of the most influential figures in American science fiction, not only as a writer but as an editor and publisher. He published fiction in the pulp era under several names, including David Grinnell, and later founded DAW Books, the first publishing company devoted exclusively to science fiction and fantasy. His own stories often explored strange biological ideas and unsettling scientific possibilities. “The Rag Thing” shows his early fascination with life emerging under unexpected conditions and his ability to find horror in the most mundane urban settings.
