About this listen

Her love is a hunger, an obsession....

Beautiful eighteen-year-old Barry Brennan couldn't forget. A year ago, Ned Kramer, her fiancé, had died in a hunting accident. Her grief threatened to overwhelm her - until the night her car careened off an icy country road and struck a handsome stranger.

Naked and helpless, he seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Stripped of speech and memory, his recovery would begin only when Barry roused him from his coma, took him home to her family, and urged him to recall his name. She would be bound to him by a love deeper, more compelling, than any she had ever known. Then the truth would pour out in a rain of blood... and terror.

She opened the door to something....

As horror stories go this seems a fairly decent offering from the pen of John Farris, and I recall reading the printed version many years ago when it was published under the title of "The Uninvited". I would say that this isn't your usual run of the mill story with a supernatural theme. Its premise is the sudden appearance of a stranger into the life of a bereaved young woman, whose past is completely unknown and seemingly without a clear identity. There is a sense of growing menace as the plot unfolds and a rather chilling revelation as to who the stranger really is as he becomes more ensconced into the life of the central character and her close family members. Coupled with this is the existence of a rather odd fortune telling machine which formerly served as a fairground attraction, and which takes on a life of its own - this turns out to be even more creepy than other elements of the plot!

A somewhat unusual novel
