From Amazon.com: Forget about the utterly bland title that tells you nothing about the story. What begins as a story eerily similar to Samuel Hopkins Adams' The Flying Death slowly reveals itself to be a re-telling of Lovecraft's "The Color Out of Space." Long even directly references that story (without coming right out and naming it) in a four paragraph sequence that also discusses Wilhelm Reich, his fascination with the color blue and the male orgasm, and his bizarre theory of orgonomy. Psychologist John Holloway has invited a group of creative souls (three artists, a singer, and a professor of philosophy) to his East coast retreat-cum-lab for a weekend of personality experiments and treatment methods. The discovery of the gruesomely mutilated body of one of those guests initiates a police investigation (see the blurb on the rear cover at left). Over the course of the weekend several of the other guests witness strange flying creatures, worm-like manifestations on the beach, and glowing lights in the dunes surrounding the Holloway estate. More bodies turn up each with similar burn wounds and mutilations. Two of the guests - Ralph Kilmer, the professor, and Joan Wilderman, the singer/dancer -- turn amateur sleuths in order to learn if these manifestations are real or merely hallucinations caused by Holloway's experiments. The secret lies in a bomb shelter they discover as they flee yet another creepy amorphous being that pursues them on the beach.
A once handsome youth lay hidden behind a boulder on the isolated New England coast, his body hideously torn and a deep burn penetrating his chest...
The sky darkens and fills with vast shadows. A wild panic sweeps the beach as an alien shape forms in the sky for the barest instant...
They were being attacked, one by one, but how can you defend yourself from an enemy you cannot see, from a danger of unknown origin?
