4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Forgotten Novel, February 27, 2006
This review is from: The Visitor (Paperback)
This long-forgotten novel is the basis for the movie "Of Unknown Origin" starring Peter Weller and Shannon Tweed. It was later reprinted under that title.

The main character, Bart (played by Weller in the movie), is left at home by himself when his wife takes their kid on vacation. He is terrorized by a giant rat that seems to have a mind of its own and seems to be out to get him. His friends, co-workers, and family all think he is having a nervous breakdown as the rat drives him to drink and to act in ways he has never acted before. The final showdown with the rat was a bit more over-the-top in the movie, but was handled well in the book.

A pretty creepy and well done book that was turned into a movie that scared the pants off of me when I was in 7th grade. I would like to see more from this author, who seems to have only published one or two more books in a career that spans over 20 years.
