As a follow-up to that novel and a special Halloween treat, this month we present another title from the Wagner list, this time from the Science Fiction category. One of the famous Creeps series published in England, it is a unique horror story that describes a vampire invasion from outer space. The monsters are definitely Vampires Overhead! The author of this forgotten classic of horror fiction was Alan Hyder. As best as can be determined, Vampires Overhead was Hyder's only work of horror fiction.

Deep-hidden in evil, Satan's Suicide Club sat in council - and men died. What dreadful force drove these men, leaders of society with everything to live for, to end their lives at the behest of that sinister being who sardonically called himself Professor Mephisto? And why did men and women suffer the tortures of the damned, rather than defy this mysterious being? Richard Wentworth once more assumes the cloak of the Spider to free these lost ones from a living hell and a disgraceful death - and steps into the jaws of a devil's trap that casts his life among the lives in pawn!

McAfee begins to suspect there is something very sinister going on.
Summary
You see him at PTA meetings, selling peanuts for Kiwanis, mowing his lawn. Michael Louden is your ever-so-average nice guy, your neighbor, your friend - except he wants to kill you and your family and your dog. He's the next door serial psycho, Jack the Ripper in Willy Loman's well-shined shoes - and John Wayne Gacy in his clown costume. And he's not alone. Michael Louden and others like him, Strangers, are just waiting for their moment of history - to destroy any hope of the future. "The Strangers offers one of the most unsettling and true representations of evil that you're likely to experience in a horror novel." -From the Introduction by Marc Paoletti
The Strangers, Mort Castle's 1984 cult classic of hard driving horror, is back in this audiobook version. This wonderfully creepy, yet disturbing, tale will have you looking around at your friends, family, and neighbors in a way you never suspected. The Strangers has been optioned by Whitewater Films in 2005.

A little long, perhaps...
A good story over all. Well narrated. I felt like the premise was well established early on and too much of the book was devoted to the main character's disintegrating self-control. I was ready for the climax, either the time of the Strangers or a confrontation with them. There was a nice little twist at the end which I really should have seen coming. I'd like to read a sequel that explores the uprising of the Strangers and society's struggle with them and the aftermath. Also, it might answer the question of why it is that the majority of the Strangers accept one another...
