You see him at PTA meetings, selling peanuts for Kiwanis, mowing his lawn. Michael Louden is your ever-so-average nice guy, your neighbor, your friend--except he wants to kill you and your family and your dog. He's the next door serial psycho, Jack the Ripper in Willy Loman's well shined shoes--and John Wayne Gacy in his clown costume. And he's not alone. Michael Louden and others like him, Strangers, are just waiting for their moment of history--to destroy any hope of the future. "THE STRANGERS offers one of the most unsettling and true representations of evil that you're likely to experience in a horror novel" --From the Introduction by Marc Paoletti THE STRANGERS, Mort Castle's 1984 cult classic of hard driving horror, is back in print in this trade paperback. This wonderfully creepy, yet disturbing tale will have you looking around at your friends, family, and neighbors in a way you never suspected. THE STRANGERS has been optioned by Whitewater Films in 2005.

Somebody Please Read This Book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Strangers (Paperback)
This author is one of the most talented yet underappreciated writers in the horror field. Mort Castle hasn't written a bad book ever!, I've read every book he's ever written and I loved every one of them. Synopsis from the back cover since it wasn't provided above. Meet Michael Louden, typical young American husband and father, mowing the lawn of his typical suburban home. He's everybody's buddy, has a great sense of humor, works hard at his typical boring job to provide for the wife and kids. And he is a Stranger. Michael seethes with furious impatience for the coming of the Time of the Strangers, when he and millions like him (perhaps your husband, your wife, your child) will be able at last to reveal their true selves to a horrified, helpless world. There will be meaningless torture and senseless murder. Rivers and streets will run red with blood. This is the Time of the Strangers. And the time is almost here...

This review is from: The Strangers (Paperback)
It's a familiar theme -- evil walks among us, but this story is well-crafted and held my attention. A fairly quick read, settle into a chair on your porch, patio or deck for an afternoon that might change the way you look at your neighbors. I read this book years ago and was just searching Mort Castle's name for something new to add to my library when I ran across this title that I already own. It's worth a second read.
