Quentin Tarantino's favorite horror movie of 1982 is now a novel! A young man has just been admitted to a mental hospital after attempting suicide at a public beach. Soon after his arrival, the therapist assigned to him begins seeing and hearing things that have no rational explanation. The young man’s ability to make others tune into his thoughts, feel his emotions, and live his nightmares, threatens to jeopardize her sanity and throw the entire hospital into chaos, unless she can uncover the terrifying secret that underlies his telepathic power. Frequently cited as the forerunner of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, and written by the author of the screenplay, The Sender is for all fans of the genre, especially those who liked AHS Asylum, The Sinner, and Carrie.
