What do you do when reality as you know it seems to shift under your very feet? Brace yourself for a thrilling, chilling, supernatural roller coaster ride of a novel from one of England's best known suspense writers. As creative thought forms begin to take on a life of their own, the waking nightmare that evolves will have you shivering with delicious dread. It all begins when parapsychologist Sam Towne and journalist Joanna Cross decide to conduct an experiment to see if it's possible for a group to deliberately create a ghost. Or maybe it started with the psychics who cursed Joanna when she exposed their fraud in her last magazine article. Either way, soon the question is how to stop it! David Ambrose, who began his career as a screenwriter for Orson Welles, exhibits his flair for the dramatic in this contemporary ghost story. Narrator Richard Ferrone's sonorous voice draws you in and holds you spellbound as you consider the fragility of everything you think you know.… (mais)

As horror goes, I did get up and lock the doors when I was reading late into the night. I felt, however, that the book weakened towards the end. ( )

Een geslaagd experiment in psychokinese, om een geest te scheppen, heeft verbijsterende gevolgen voor de levens van de deelnemende groepsleden, vooral voor een onderzoeksjournaliste. Gebaseerd op een in de parapsychologische literatuur beschreven experiment. Boeiend uitgewerkt verhaal over psychokinese, paranormale verschijnselen en bijgeloof, met op tweederde een onverwachte ontwikkeling. Het taalgebruik is vlot, de stijl soepel; levendige dialogen en constante, onderhuidse spanning. Hoewel er doden vallen is het verhaal niet gewelddadig. De personages worden levensecht uitgewerkt. Voornamelijk gesitueerd in een universiteitsruimte in modern New York.

What a read, I was lost inside this book, could not put it down until I read the last page, brilliant, the thrills kept on coming right until the end. ( )

Convinced that ghosts are actually manifestations of the combined will of living individuals, Sam creates an experiment bringing a group of people together to try to do just that. They create a fictional character and start the experiment. But when things start to go bad and they want to stop the test, people start dying.

I enjoyed this book. I like the premise and think it is very original. It kept me engaged but there is quite a bit of theory that got repeated often. So at some points I felt like say, I get it already!. But that does not stop me from recommending it. It is not a super scary book, it is creepy. ( )

It is not that I feel that I have read a classic, something that will stay and will be quoted. No, this is entertainment. If you accept this I can admit that the book is really good. Questions of parallel universes, of mind and matter, are treated in a very fascinating way. The whole impression is scary, really scary. I have been in bed already but the end of the novel made me get up and write this comment - while there are still tiny little shivers around my spine. ( )

Diesem durchgehend fesselnden Thriller steht ein Motto Francis Bacons voran: "Es ist Aberglaube, den Aberglauben zu leugnen".
