The Fury synopsis: "Gillian Bellaver’s seemingly perfect life turns upside down when she begins having nightmares and talking in her sleep to a boy she does not know. Soon, she realizes she has psychic powers that are deeply connected to Robin Sandza, her spiritual twin. When fanatical and dangerous men discover their secret, the two teens are on the run for their lives. However, Robin’s father has a secret of his own. As a government assassin, he’s determined to use the ruthless skills of his trade to save them—from those that wish them harm and from the dangers of their subconscious minds.
First published in 1976, this striking reissue of The Fury will delight longtime fans of the original book and the 1978 film from legendary director Brain De Palma. Newfound horror fanatics can absorb this classic after the terrifying reboot of Stephen King’s IT.
