Scary book for Halloween
(AUDIO BOOKS FROM PAST MANUSCRIPTS)



My Other Face by Robert P. Fitton


Amherst, Massachusetts... 1979


Agent to Fitton: “You need to write what's selling, Bob. And horror stories are selling.”

That was 1980. I ‘kindda’ followed his advice. My intention in writing My Other Face was to inject the idea of ghosts, spirits and the walking dead into my writing. The book evolved into a science fiction panoply of the living dead and opening a Pandora’s Box of unknown physics. Before writing  this novel, I read half a dozen horror novels of the 1970’s and early 1980’s. It is not my nature to write graphic descriptions of violence. But I do like suspense and tense situations in my books. My Other Face has both.


In this bizarre cauldron is Marta DuPont Pendleton- vulnerable and frightened and cast into a horrific situation in an isolated New Hampshire town. Marta is in intense therapy and sees ‘flashes,’ black and white snippets of a skewed deadly reality. No one believes she is sane. I utilized the device of echoing her inner thoughts as she meanders back to what will be come the ultimate horror of her life in her husband’s home town of St. Argus, New Hampshire.

Like the novel Peyton Place’s wealthy and powerful Harrington family, the Pendletons control St. Argus in My Other Face. Unlike Peyton Place no such gossip and scandal resides in St. Argus. My Other Face is  gory… but good.


Do not read on a midnight dreary, while you ponder, weak and weary.
