Overview

This is a well known science fiction novel that has been reprinted many times and has been adapted and made into a movie. This story deals with the adventures of a young psychologist in a remote Maine farm house: with the death of a woman and the disappearance of Julian Blair, physicist and inventor. Against a normal enough background, events begin to take on the shape of terror, with a tinge of the unknown. There are hints of things beyond the borderland of the natural, including the strange researches into survival after death by a half-mad electrophysicist. Set against these, the tender love story of Dick and Anne adds an unexpected poignancy and charm. This novel, said The New York Times, when the original edition was first published, "has suspense, ingenuity, some excellent bits of description. More important still, it has an air of plausibility oddly at variance with that chill wind from the regions beyond man's knowledge which Dick and Anne felt blowing about them in the hall of the old house on Setauket Point the night after the inquest, when they woke to such fear as neither of them had ever known." The story was adapted from the novel The Edge of Running Water by William Sloane into an American horror film entitled “The Devil Commands”.
