The Uninvited John Farris 1982 Hardcover w/Jacket Delacorte Press Book Club Ed

Description: Hardcover has lots of shelf wear and handling wear over the years, cover sleeve is fully intact but worn especially on the edges and front, but interior and inside cover are very nice with no tears, spills or blemishes....very nice for any collector, just a little rough around the edges, kept in private collection for years in smoke-free home. Late on a snowy November afternoon, while driving from town to her family's farm in upper New York State, Barry Brennan has the accident. From the first, it is a mystery: the young man whom she strikes and injures slightly is physically perfect, stripped of clothing and identification, without speech or memory, a seemingly "newborn" twenty-year-old man. He is also strangely like Barry's fiance, Ned Kramer, who was tragically killed in an accident the year before. It's almost as if Barry's love and longing for Ned had actually willed the handsome stanger into being. The accident victim's recovery begins only when Barry arouses him from an inexplicable coma. He suddenly "remembers" his name, Mark Draven, by scrambling the letters of Ned Kramer's name. He quickly binds Barry to him by a love deeper than any she has ever known. Obsessed by Draven, Barry is blind to the growing horror she's inflicting on those she loves most: her father, Tom Brennan, the famous painter whose pricesless talent will be threatened; Dal, Barry's brother, whose love for Barry will move him inexorably toward destruction; and Alexandra Chatellaine, the elderly neighbor whose secret knowledge of the occult marks her as the only power possible to stop Mark Draven--the handsome stanger who becomes for the Brennans a terrifying and uninvited guest.
