Charles Maclean's horror classic is finally back in print Friday, rush hour. Martin Gregory just manages to catch the 4:48 train. Tomorrow is his wife's birthday and he plans to devote the weekend to her and their beloved dogs. But when he rises in the morning, Martin does something so horrific, so inexplicable, and so out of character that his only option is to run. A lost horror classic back in print at last, The Watcher chronicles Martin as his quest for understanding plunges him through shifting realities and twisted corridors of time, and into the deepest recesses of the human mind. "The number one horror novel of all time!" --The Guardian (London) "An extraordinary book, unlike anything else I've read." --Charlie Higson, author of The Dead "I'm something of an insomniac. I read The Watcher and stopped sleeping altogether." --Paul Newman "If you are easily upset...stop right here." --The New York Times.
"Een computerprogrammeur vermoordt op de verjaardag van zijn vrouw hun beide honden en probeert daarna uit te zoeken wat hem ertoe gedreven heeft zoiets wreeds te doen."

"Martin Gregory, a junior executive, leads an orderly, conventional like, has an orderly, conventional marriage, and returns home at the usual time one evening to celebrate, in an orderly quiet way, his wife's birthday -- only to commit an atrocity so gruesome and extraordinary that it baffles everyone, including Gregory himself. Gradually, under the influence of a psychiatrist brought in to find some explanation for his behavior, Gregory is drawn into the deepest recesses of his own mind, where a tangled, epic, and deadly conflict is taking place between the ordinary present and a mythic past. It is a dark world of battles and legends and ghostly drama that is as compelling as anything in Tolkien, and far more frightening; a world more real to Gregory than the present, reaching out across unimaginable gulfs of time and memory."
