The author of the cult classic The Man Who Turned into Himself, David Ambrose is one of England's best-known suspense writers. Now, inspired by real-life parapsychological experiments, and with the chilling intensity of Stephen King or John Saul, he takes you past the everyday barrier between science and belief, faith and reason, all-too-human desires and inhuman evil-and toward an inexorable descent into nightmare... University psychologist Sam Towne is certain that the human mind has the psychic ability to create a ghost-that paranormal sightings and experiences can be attributed to a kind of group telepathy. To prove his theory, Sam decides to take his experiments one step further, assembling a group of eight people from all walks of life in his small New York laboratory. Among them is skeptical magazine reporter Joanna Cross, who has just debunked a ring of fraudulent spiritualists and who is finding that investigating Sam's steadfast beliefs and good-humored attitude is an even more intriguing mystery. Through thinking, talking, and performing parapsychological exercises, the group creates a character sketch of "Adam"-a tragic Revolutionary War hero who at first exists only in their imagination... Until the day he makes contact with the group-and begins to grow more communicative and more powerful. Suddenly, one by one, members of the group start dying under mysterious circumstances. As Sam and Joanna race to save themselves and to destroy Adam for good, they discover that Adam is using the group's power to create his own reality, where everything Sam and Joanna know is nothing like they remember. And where even the reason and knowledge that help anchor their world can be the most terrifying force of all... With the logic of a nightmare, SUPERSTITION sweeps us into a realm that could just be the everyday, where what we all count on most-faith, friendship, and love-are the things that shape our deepest, most horrifying fears...
