Product Description

Entranced and terrified, the reader of The Other is swept up in the life of a Connecticut country town in the thirties-and in the fearful mysteries that slowly darken and overwhelm it.

Originally published in 1971, The Other is one of the most influential horror novels ever written. Its impeccable recreation of small-town life and its skillful handling of the theme of personality transference between thirteen-year-old twins led to widespread critical acclaim for the novel, which was successfully filmed from Thomas Tryon's own screenplay.

This edition features original artwork by surrealist artist Harry O. Morris.



About the Author

Thomas Tryon was a noted actor before turning to novels. His first novel, The Other, was successfully filmed in 1972. Other novels include Harvest Home, Crowned Heads, and The Night of the Moonbow. He died in 1991.

The Oxford Companion to English Literature describes Ramsey Campbell as "Britain's most respected living horror writer". He has been given more awards than any other writer in the field, including the Grand Master Award of the World Horror Convention and the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Horror Writers Association.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Thrilling and Suspensful, A Hard to Put Down Book, Janv. 19 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: The Other (Hardcover)
In reference to "The Other" by Thomas Tryon (1971). This is my fourth time reading this book since I first bought it in 1972. It's gotten pretty worn since then. As the first time I read it I still can't put it down. I enjoy reading it when I go to bed and can't wait to continue the next day. The reason why I'm reading it for only the fourth time since I purchased it is because I had misplaced it for several years. When I moved (again) I found it and started reading it as if I never had. The Other is about twins who's personalities are the complete opposit. You think their are two but in fact their's only one twin who's taken on the personality of his sibling to carry out murderous schemes and revenge. Set in the year 1935, it's accurately describes a typical high class family's life during that time period. The "twins" are sort of Cain and Able. One evil and vengeful one kind and caring.

This review is from: The Other (Hardcover)
This book is a reread for me annually. And the first time I read it, I had to immediately read it again to see how Mr. Tryon did it. One of my all time favorite books; please try to get a copy any way you can. You won't be disappointed.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Incredible writing, Aoû 30 2001
Par ManiacMansionJason (Thibodaux, Louisiana United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Other (Mass Market Paperback)
Actor-turned novelist Thomas Tryon's first book is one of the best out there. The technique the book uses to creep up on you if very unique. This book is very old (and very out of print..i'd sell my soul before giving up my 1971 first edition with dj) so I hope you can find yourslef a copy, because this is a book that you simply HAVE to read, if you want a good horror story.
And now the plot (don't worry, I'm not giving any spoilers):
In 1935 12-year old twin boys (Niles and Holland) live on a New England farm. The twins are both very different. Niles is more outgoing and light-hearted, while Holland is shy and hides a lot. Their Russian grandmother Ada has taught them "The Game," which allows you to be (or at least see from the POV) whatever or whoever you concentrate on. Their mother always stays inside, and their father's rcent death is probably the reason for it. It doesn't take long before a series of murders take place in the peacful town, and it becomes clear that Holland is connected to each of them...to say anything else about the novel would ruin the book. Just remember:
Peregrine for Perry.
Also, check out the movie: It's excellent.
