The Other by Thomas Tryon

5.0

I just read the final lines of this book, and I need some more time to digest. But, I want to go ahead and review this while it's fresh in my mind. This book, while written in 1971, is killer. You may think an old horror book won't be good (as some naysayers might), but this is clearly a source text for many films since it's publication. As well as a film version of this, which I have already bought. Think "The Good Son" and "Goodnight Mommy" on crack. I cannot say enough about this book, if you are a horror fan, and specifically a fan of say King, Lovecraft, Barker, etc. You really need to read this.
