A Stir of Echoes by Richard Matheson

4.0

Tom Wallace and his wife Anne are your standard perfect 1950s couple. They have one son, and another child on the way. Tom has an average job, and the couple attend normal boring dinner parties at their neighbour's house. However, one evening everything is thrown into jeopardy when Tom is hypnotised into developing psychic powers...

I very much enjoyed this book, as I didn't know anything at all about it going into it. I only found out about 3/4 of the way through that it's supposed to be a horror story- It really isn't scary, and that's coming from the biggest scaredy cat around. It is a good thriller though, and it had me guessing what was going to happen next throughout.

Now onto the film adaptation with Kevin Bacon!
