Jinwoo Chong: Clock In: Jinwoo Chong’s Playlist for 'Flux' (0 comment)

I had my first inklings of the novel that eventually became Flux about a year after I was laid off from my first job after college, the result of a corporate takeover of my company that eliminated my entire department. While a tough hurdle to overcome at twenty-one years old, I learned a lot about self-sufficiency....

Publisher Comments

Entranced and terrified, the reader of The Otheris swept up in the life of a Connecticut country town in the thirties-and in the fearful mysteries that slowly darken and overwhelm it.

Originally published in 1971, The Otheris one of the most influential horror novels ever written. Its impeccable recreation of small-town life and its skillful handling of the theme of personality transference between thirteen-year-old twins led to widespread critical acclaim for the novel, which was successfully filmed from Thomas Tryon's own screenplay.

This edition features original artwork by surrealist artist Harry O. Morris.

Synopsis

Along with The Exorcist, The Other is one of the most influential of all horror novels.

`	Bricoleur , December 10, 2009 (view all comments by Bricoleur) A simply amazing book. It is touted as one of the underappreciated, yet seminal, works of horror fiction, and I'd say that's a fair assessment. It's written absolutely beautifully. Tryon is the master of the art of foreshadowing without really giving anything away; so many works of horror or dark fantasy, you see the twists and turns coming a mile off. With Tryon, the twist happens and it's so perfectly natural, so obvious, so right, you wonder how he managed to do it and still retain the element of surprise. I'd say this is a must-read for anyone who likes horror, dark fantasy, or just plain good writing.
