Hello.
I was able to locate two books containing a short story called "The
Sack." In both cases, the story is Frank Baker's "The Sack" (1977).
The first book is "Stories of horror and suspense: an anthology,"
edited by Denys Val Baker. This is an anthology of stories by
well-known authors such as Roald Dahl, Daphne Du Maurier, etc. If
"The Sack" is included in this collection, it must be a pretty good
story.
