***** Never let yourself be hypnotised!
This short paranormal thriller is another
little gem from the extensive literary production of Matheson. Despite being a
short enough work, it can be considered a complete book, thanks to the author’s
ability to use a fast pace, which does not get lost on too much talking, but
can summarise a complex plot in a little space.
As always in his books you have no idea what
might happen next, since it is difficult to label them and then understand the
type of plot from the genre. His moving easily between science fiction and
fantasy makes the reader not know what to expect when they pick up a book of
his.
Although the novel is dated, the prose sounds
quite contemporary.
The main character, Tom, who after being hypnotised begins to see and hear strange things, is characterised by great irony and a touch of madness, which make him fascinating. Perhaps the protagonists of many of his books tend to look alike, but that does not make them any less interesting.
