Louis Charbonneau 3 hr 33 min read

A telepathic professor realizes that anyone around him, even the redhead on his couch, might be one of the alien things, and that he's about to lose himself.

Louis Charbonneau's 1960 novel (later a Twilight Zone-adjacent inspiration) plunges its mind-reading hero into paranoia as body-snatching aliens close in. Tense, atmospheric psi-powered SF-horror. Read it for a gripping golden-age tale of infiltration where you can't trust anyone, not even the woman beside you.
