Book Reviews of The Other
Book Review: Still Scary After All These Years
Summary: 5 Stars
Author Tom Tryon was a so-so pretty boy actor, mostly famous for his role as THE CARDINAL. He turned out to be a much more gifted horror novelist. THE OTHER is excellent.
I read THE OTHER when it first came out in 1971. I was eleven. (I was a precocious reader.) I can't believe that THE OTHER, a very influential novel of its genre, is out of print.
I write. I've still to write anything as good as THE OTHER. I enjoy well-written and intelligent horror tales to this day; they are few and far between, and THE OTHER is one of the best. A recent re-reading convinced me of that.
A New England tale of twin brothers whose utterly different personalities move freely between their bodies, this novel builds its atmosphere slowly. Never lurid, it merely gives you the very, very uncomfortable feeling that you're being watched . . . by The Other mind inside your own skull.
And it takes a while for that feeling to fade.
Summary of The Other
Entranced and terrified, the reader of The Other is 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 Other is 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.
