So powerful! I have vivid memories of reading this as a young teen some forty years ago! The story of twin 13-year-old boys, Holland and Niles Perry, who share telepathic gifts and a family history of madness and tragedy is a hair-raising, creepy read. "Accidents" start to happen on their family's idyllic Connecticut farm and we're off and running on a suspenseful ride with Tryon at the wheel. He keeps the reader guessing (and dreading) what's around the corner...I couldn't put it down. I've read the masters-Hitchcock, Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe- and Tryon at his best is as impressive. This book is a masterful psychological thriller of seldom-read originality with macabre twists and turns. I dare you to guess the ending.
P.S. Tryon's "Harvest Home" is equally chilling.
