Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Tom Wallace lived an ordinary life, until a chance event awakened psychic abilities he never knew he possessed. Now he's hearing the private thoughts of the people around him-and learning shocking secrets he never wanted to know. But as Tom's existence becomes a waking nightmare, even greater jolts are in store as he becomes the unwilling recipient of a compelling message from beyond the grave!

This eerie ghost story, by award-winning author of Hell House and I Am Legend, inspired the acclaimed 1999 film starring Kevin Bacon.




Customer Reviews
User popularity level: out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - good, but
This really was a good story...However I have become spoilt with my chosen authors...There seemed to be large chunks of detail left out...My father would say "use your imagination" but that is why I read...to envision, not imagine.



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Not for Me
Although I absolutely love the movie, I wasn't impressed by the book. Not quite as spooky, and too many details were so different from the movie that I couldn't get used to it. It might appeal to others, though, especially if you've never seen the movie starring Kevin Bacon!


Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Compelling
This book is a very good mix of suspense and mystery, and the characters are very well developed. It's a real page turner, so be prepared for a late night of reading.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Another GREAT story from Richard Matheson
This is a great story! As with all his other books, this is a gripping tale that captures the imagination from the very first sentence. Don't miss out!


Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - A Stir of Outdated-ness
I was excited to read from this author, who many popular Sci Fi and Fantasy writers yesterday give homage to. That excitement quickly turned to dissapointment. The writing is choppy and very out-dated. The plot was not very compelling. In fact I would never have finished this very thin book if I hadn't heard such adulation of it from authors whom I love. I'm guessing now that when these authors were younger, very young perhaps, they enjoyed the basic intrigues and imagination in this book. If they were to have read it for the very first time as an adult,now, I find it hard to believe that they would have the same sentiments. It may have been ahead of its time, but how can that be considering Tolkien was before it. I am reluctant to read any of Matheson's other works because this was so unintriguing. It was a fairly interesting yarn at best. I may still give I am Legend a shot, if it's in the bargain bin.
