"'''A Thousand Deaths'''" is an 1899 short story by [[Jack London]], and is notable as his first work to be published.

The plot is Freudian, inasmuch as the scientist who carries out the painful killings and resuscitation experiments is the subject's own father, whom the subject eventually succeeds in vaporizing. |
