Charles Dickens 
Hunted Down 

Hunted Down Charles Dickens – ‘Hunted Down’ was released as a single in 1987 with a B-side titled ‘Nothing to Say’, which can also be found on Screaming Life and the band’s greatest hits compilation, A-Sides (1997). The single was pressed on blue vinyl as a limited edition with only 500 copies made, and has since become a Soundgarden collector’s item. Oddly, ‘Nothing to Say’, rather than ‘Hunted Down’, appeared on A-Sides. Kim Thayil jokingly explained the replacement with ‘that’s about the level of communication the band was at back then’. This is one of the detective stories of the famous English writer Charles Dickens. The main character is a smart and attentive man named Sampson. One day he sees a strange Mr. Julius Silton in his office. Sampson begins to suspect that this man is hiding something necessary from other people. This Mr. Silton appears in the life of the main character more often. Sampson understands that a crime is occurring and it must be stopped. Sampson turns into a real hunter of criminals. The writer once again demonstrates his talent: he perfectly describes the character and psychology of the people’s behavior. Charles Dickens also gives a vivid imagery of the society of his time. The story is dynamic and the reader won’t be bored…
