Seldom do I feel as creeped out while reading something as I did with The Strangers. Right from the get go Castle instills the creep feeling and it just gets worse and worse as the novel progresses. Our lead, Michael Louden, seems to be a typical middle-class husband and father of two young girls, living in the suburbs of Chicago. Yet, Michael is also 'a stranger', the term he and select others refer to themselves. What are the Strangers? Basically a collection of psychopaths with no morality who love to kill, but whom also have trained themselves (if you will) to 'pass' as the detested 'normals' of society.

Castle puts you right into Michael's head and that is not a pleasant place to be! Michael's boss, also a Stranger, urges Michael to patience as soon, someday, the time will arrive when the Strangers can fulfill their desires to kill. Michael cannot wait to kill his wife and kids! So, we have Michael going through the motions of being a normal while harboring his desires to induce death and mayhem. The brief prologue has Michael and his boss returning from some business meeting (the company vends wholesale janitorial supplies) and finding some guy whose car recently broke down on the road. With no one around, the proceed to butcher the guy for fun. While the tale contains some nasty slaughter and such, these episodes serve to simply punctuate the creepy vibe.

Castle's prose confirms his status as something of a wordsmith and this, coupled with the relentless pacing, make this novel something special. The only other novel by Castle I also read, Cursed Be the Child, also surprised me with its quality and creepiness. The man has a knack! Well worth seeking out if you dig this type of stuff. 4.5 evil stars!!

Fue una lectura entretenida aunque predecible.
Me gustó mucho el humor negro, sátira y la falta de humanidad del personaje principal, el trasfondo de la historia es lo que más destaco y lo que dota de terror cotidiano a la historia haciendo el contexto identificable para el lector y por consiguiente situándolo en una posición de vulnerabilidad absolutamente realista. La historia mantiene expectación y tensión, el caos está ahí, latente, y nos hace sentir a través de la mente del protagonista que la maldad y el deseo de violencia ocupan un lugar privilegiado en él, donde la compasión no tiene lugar.

Los extraños es un thriller divertidísimo, cargado de humor negro, algunos excesos, varios aciertos y algún que otro enfoque típico de su época.

Un thriller, como digo, con mucho ritmo, una carga social que casi se mantiene vigente a día de hoy, algún exceso ochentero típico de las modas de la época y un ambiente de humor negro que te hace estar pendiente de la siguiente maniobra de Michael. No esperéis un gore excesivo ni un baño de sangre; hay escenas violentas pero dentro de lo que podría ser una película de genero de los ochenta. Un thriller de los que alquilabas en el videoclub, justo esto.

Not as explicitly gory as Bret Easton Ellis and the splatterpunks, and thankfully lacking the rape element of, say, Richard Laymon, "Strangers" is a deeply disturbing horror novel. Outwardly a perfectly ordinary suburban father, full of smiles and "dad jokes", Michael Louden is actually a Stranger, one of a secret society of natural-born serial killers who maintain a facade of normalcy while constantly restraining themselves from their desire to murder their 'friends', their family and everyone around them. But the time of deception is almost over, for Michael and the others like him, led by a killer with psychic powers who can identify fellow Strangers by sight, await a promised day when they will all simultaneously shed the bonds of civilization and kill, kill, kill the "nothing people" in an apocalyptic orgy of blood. For all the scariness of this idea, the really upsetting thing here is what Michael does when he's *not* killing people: the portrait of a total sociopath who is able to pretend to be a caring husband and father, all the while yearning to end the farce, keeping up an internal monologue of utter contempt for his trusting wife, and psychologically torturing her so subtly she doesn't realize he's doing it. Sounds like fun, escapist light horror reading, right? Stories about super-smart sociopathic killers tend to devolve into sadistic glorification of their subjects, but thankfully Castle is a good enough writer not to do this, and Michael's wife becomes the book's central character, as she proves to be not so hapless and begins to discover the cracks in Michael's facade. Still, even if , this is a grim, grim book.

Well, hot damn! It's rare to come across horror books from this era that are this damn good, especially ones that have gotten very little praise. Castle tells a fairly unique tale here, that might crib a little from things like The Stepford Wives and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but he uses those influences as a launching pad and tells his own story. His writing is solid, characters fairly well drawn (well, the human ones, anyway) and despite cultural references which are long out of date, the dialogue and situations play here. The book is also darkly comical at times, or at least I found it so, not sure what that says about me. But it's also unflinchingly brutal, mean spirited and violent. There's a twist I saw coming from a long, long way off, but rather than being annoyed when it was revealed, I felt that things had fallen into place just as they should have. And that ending! wow! Castle goes for the throat, and doesn't let go until you've suffocated.

I like my reviews short, sweet, and to the point.

Makes you realize how easy it can be for some people to hide their true selves in plain view.

The Strangers is a bit of a demented novel with a killer premise. Michael Louden lives as ordinary a life as he could. He has a well-paying professional job, a wife and two kids, and is ordinary in every way – except for the fact that he is sociopathic killer lurking underneath his placid exterior. Michael is a part of a society that calls itself The Strangers. They live normal lives and kill people when the opportunity presents itself, waiting for one day when the Strangers will rise and go on a killing spree taking over society from the normals.

This is a disturbing novel in so many ways. Most of it is because Michael comes off as so ordinary and is convincing about it. It makes you wonder if your neighbor or co-worker or friend could be a cold-blooded killer just waiting for the right moment to explode. He even hates his children and wants to kill them as well. That last part was a little hard to swallow. I figure even a sociopath would care about his children. His wife begins to suspect that Michael isn’t the person who she thinks he is, but with a psychiatrist friend gets her committed. Toward the end, Michael’s cruelty really comes to the forefront. The story is well written and stylistically very enjoyable. I really enjoyed the twist at the end of the story. Even though the clues were planted earlier on, I did not see it coming. This was a strong novel that I recommend reading.

Història retorçada i cruel ambientada en un món on la vidència està fora de tot dubte, almenys per part de l'autor (no em podia creure el tema de les aures!). M'encanta que existeixin novel·les així i per tant se li perdonen les baixades de ritme i els moments abruptes. M'ha recordat vagament l'estil de Laymon. Una bona macarrada marca de la casa 'Dimensiones Ocultas'!

Pomysł świetny - obcy żyjący wśród ludzi, czekający aż nadejdzie ich czas. Dobrze przedstawione realia lat 70-80 w Ameryce. Jednak wykonanie słabe. W większości przegadana, strachu też niewiele. Mały plot twist na zakończenie, ale to tyle. Są lepsze książki...

Super obálka, super název, super námět, ale provedení trošku pokulhává. Vyprávění mi přišlo poněkud monotónní, jednotvárné, s nulovou atmosférou a bez napětí. Na konci to má tolik očekávánou gradaci s příchutí slasheru, ale než se k tomu člověk pročte... Možná by tomu prospěl kratší formát, dokázala bych si to představit jako povídku.

Rounded down from 3.5. Michael Louden is a good family man. He says all the right things to his beloved wife Beth, and provides for the family etc. Meanwhile... he is waiting for The Time of the Strangers.
He is a Stranger, not one of the Normals. He is a killer, waiting for the go ahead from the boss. All the Strangers are waiting. Then they will kill.
The Strangers has an inordinate amount of typeos; something like 10! That does not look good. Anyway Michael is forever waiting for the go ahead. We hear Jan Pretre say "soon," about 100 times. The Time of the Strangers starts 15 pages from the end, and by then I was kind of over it. There's a slight twist and the main two or three Strangers begin the kill, then the book ends.
The prose is fair to middling, the story doesn't go anywhere until the book ends; yes the story is mostly about, the person we love behind the mask, it could be your mother or father or brother et Al. But I wanted an apocalypse. Instead I got a microcosm.
It was still good for a paperback original.

3,5 estrellas. El final apoteósico es lo que más me ha gustado. Se lee super bien. Y desde luego el sello de “Paperbacks from hell” le viene como anillo al dedl.

Michael Louden, un hombre que representa la imagen perfecta del padre de familia de una zona suburbana: educado, amable, comprometido con su comunidad. Vive con su esposa Beth y su hija en un vecindario apacible, donde todo parece funcionar como un engranaje bien engrasado. Sin embargo, detrás de esa fachada de normalidad se oculta una verdad aterradora. Michael forma parte de una red secreta de individuos conocidos como Los Extraños, personas que están infiltradas silenciosamente en la sociedad con un objetivo: romper las barreras morales que los limitan y liberar su verdadera naturaleza violenta.

Beth, por su parte, comienza a notar pequeñas grietas en la realidad que la rodea. Su esposo ya no le parece el mismo, y su intuición –amplificada por los oscuros presentimientos de su madre enferma– la lleva a sospechar que algo profundamente maligno está ocurriendo bajo la superficie de su vida cotidiana. A medida que la tensión se incrementa, la obra se transforma en una pesadilla doméstica donde el enemigo no llega del exterior, sino que duerme a tu lado.

Tal y como transcurre en el despiadado sector literario, en el que sobrevivir al frente de un sello editorial es más difícil que cruzar las arenas desérticas del planeta Arrakis, poder comprobar que uno de los pocos proyectos valientes que se atreve a apostar por ello consigue con un altísimo esfuerzo marcar un camino muy personal y establecerse dentro de las referencias del terror es un motivo nada pequeño de celebración. Y es que Dimensiones Ocultas lo ha logrado gracias a la publicación de títulos notables y que ha logrado ya que el aficionado al terror siempre tenga un ojo puesto en las novedades de este sello malagueño. 

Por mi parte, leí con enorme placer el título A LA CAZA DEL HOMBRE DEL SACO de Richard Chizmar, debido sobretodo a la pasión por Stephen King y en concreto a la colaboración que ambos autores realizaron en la trilogía LA CAJA DE BOTONES DE GWENDY, conformada por las novelas LA CAJA DE BOTONES DE GWENDY, LA PLUMA MÁGICA DE GWENDY y LA ÚLTIMA MISIÓN DE GWENDY. Supongo que a muchos de vosotros también les pasaría lo mismo. Y esta lectura ya me hizo posicionarme claramente hacia un seguimiento continuo en la publicación de lanzamientos de la editorial y que hemos venido promocionando en la web, tales como LA MALDICIÓN DEL SEGADOR de Brian McAuley, AMANTES ESPELUZNANTES de Jules V. Gachs, CORPUS DIABOLI de Katherine Vega y CRISÁLIDA de Alicia Albares.

La obra que reseñamos hoy, LOS EXTRAÑOS (1984) de Mort Castle, es mi segunda lectura de la editorial y puedo afirmar que tengo plena certeza de que no será la última. Lanzar dos títulos excelentes no es fruto ya de una mera casualidad. Este título es una de esas obras que han pasado algo desapercibidas, pero que merecen un lugar entre los clásicos modernos del género. Esta novela es una mezcla de thriller psicológico, sátira social y horror doméstico que perturba no por lo sobrenatural, sino por lo demasiado humano.

Mort Castle nunca fue publicado en España, y dentro del subgénero del terror norteamericano tampoco es que lograra un gran reconocimiento, aunque es cierto que a sus lectores se les quedó grabada como una historia muy impactante, por la agilidad de su prosa y el miedo real generado. Y es así como el reconocido autor Grady Hendrix tuvo a bien incluir esta novela en su ensayo PAPERBACKS FROM HELL, publicado en español por Ediciones Minotaro en 2024, atrayendo la mirada hacia ciertos títulos de novelas icónicas ligeras de bolsillo y publicadas entre los años 70 y 80.

La historia gira en torno a Michael Louden, un hombre que a simple vista es el epítome del ciudadano perfecto: esposo dedicado, padre amoroso, vecino cordial. Vive en un vecindario tranquilo, con una familia encantadora y una carrera respetable. Pero todo eso es una fachada cuidadosamente construida. Michael no es un hombre común. Es un Extraño, parte de red secreta de sociópatas que están infiltrados en la sociedad para, eventualmente, liberarse de las reglas morales y desatar su verdadera naturaleza: la violencia, el caos, la muerte. Todo ello además ansiando el momento de su supuesta liberación, cuando llegue el "Momento de Los Extraños".

Desde las primeras páginas, Castle nos deja claro que estamos leyendo desde el interior de la mente del monstruo. Y sin embargo, lo que hace que Michael sea tan escalofriante es que no parece un monstruo. Es racional, metódico, encantador… incluso gracioso. Sus pensamientos están impregnados de un humor negro que hace que el lector se ría con incomodidad, sintiéndose cómplice de algo siniestro. Castle no busca provocar miedo con criaturas sobrenaturales, sino con la cotidianidad del mal.

Was this written by a 7th grader ? Run on sentences , stupid quips, childish thoughts. I liked the idea of the book but I couldn't stand the writing style . I kept reading hoping it would get better but a bum climax did it in.

Not the best written novel, and I found a few typos (that always drives me crazy). However, this book provides an interesting look into the mind of a sociopath and the people around him. Comes with a nice (if not predictable) twist at the end, too!

Michael is the perfect husband and father, always saying the right things, maybe sometimes too right, as in it's all an act and beneath the surface he's a psychopathic serial killer. Michael is a Stranger, part of a secret subset of humanity hiding in plain sight around the world, only recognisable by their blood-red auras, psychotic killers who patiently wait for the Time of the Strangers, an event when they can all come out of hiding and start butchering everyone.

It doesn't mean that they don't indulge in their passions in the meantime, with Michael dispatching Brad the drunken neighbour by smashing his head against the toilet bowl and pushing his psychic mother-in-law down the stairs. The Strangers stick together, with Vern as Michael's boss at work and Jan the psychologist (who introduced Michael to the pleasures of killing at a young age) later appearing as a family friend and therapist to Beth, Michael's loving wife.

It's Beth who begins to suspect Michael's happy-go-lucky attitude, his unwavering good humour in the face of everything. Her doubts become certainty when Michael kills Beth's lover, but the cabal of Strangers quickly shuffles her off to an insane asylum and electro-shock therapy. And then, finally, the moment Michael has been waiting for is upon him and the Time of the Strangers begins.

The Strangers is full of pitch-black humour, with Michael's murderous inner monologues contrasting with his cheerful, extroverted outer self. The twist here is that his murderous inner voice is also always happy and delighted at the prospect of some glorious bloodshed. There's no remorse, no humanity in Michael, he's completely inhuman, almost an alien killing machine disguised as a man. Violence and murder are for him the only things in life, and he's only barely keeping his urges in check.

For most of the novel we follow Michael, but as Beth begins to suspect his husband the perspetive shifts slightly over to her point of view. Ending with a series of vignettes featuring different Strangers going to work on their victims as the Time of the Strangers gets underway, the novel never lags or loses steam. By the last phrase the killing has merely started. There's not as much brutal violence as one might expect, instead of cheap gore the novel goes for psychological horror and humour. The Strangers is a fantastically unique take on psychopaths, often hilarious, always deadly.

TW: znęcanie, przemoc domowa, morderstwa (ludzi i zwierząt)
Więc tak, zaczynając od początku.
Ta ksiażka nie była zła, było dużo elementów budujących cała atmosfere. Totalnie nie spodziewałam się zakończenie, spodziewałam się bardziej czegoś innego tymbardziej po ostatnich stronach rozdziału ostatniego (nie epilogu), ale to co dostałam w końcówce epilogu było wogóle wow.
Sceny erotyczne w tej książce są niesmaczne w więkrzości i widać, że to książka pisana przez mężczyzne (jakkolwiek to nie brzmi XDD), bo te sceny są bardzo charakterystyczne, a teksty typa troche odrącające xd
Ta historia pokazuje, że nie wszystko zawsze jest takie jakie wydaje nam się na tzw "pierwszy rzut oka". Po skończeniu możecie zadawać sobie pytanie do czego zdolni są na pozór normalni ludzie? Po niektórych scenach też pomyślałam jak okropni i podli potrafią być ludzie, bo ktoś wyróżnia się wyglądem.
Po jednym flashbacku z ksiąźki zdałam sobie sprawę, że nie należy ufać komuś dlatego, że sprawia dobre wrażenie. Wybawca bardzo szybko może stać się oprawcą.
Ta książka daje do myślenia jak kiedyś były wychowywane dzieci. W wielu scenach był właśnie przedstawiony ten motyw.
Totalnymi gamechangerami są wizje matki Beth, które swoją drogą są mega mocne i świetnie opisane, oraz, że niektórzy widzą te aury ludzi.
Niesamowite jest to jak narrator nami manipuluje, żebyśmy wiedzieli, że michael jest zły (to nie spoiler, informacja jest już we wprowadzeniu i w opisie), ale ta Beth też zwariowała. Świetny był ten zabieg. Mówiąc szczerze, to sama się pogubiłam czy jeszcze istnieje to "prawdziwe ja" Beth, o którym mowiła.

this could’ve been so good. an inhuman serial killer, a chosen one of sorts for a gruesome judgment day, lurks in the suburbs. unfortunately the writing is so hard to take seriously. everyone talks in such a “golly gee aw shucks” way, which is probably some kind of dig at shallow people but i don’t care because it bothered me anyway. when it’s not that, it’s the poor man’s patrick bateman waxing poetic about BLOOD and DEATH. edgy! not to mention bad sex scenes in that good 70s/80s tradition.

there are some interesting themes, like the idea of the oppressing forces being in every aspect of society from psychiatry to the police. i also appreciated the addition of the aforementioned killer’s wife’s perspective because it gives the reader a break from the corny depiction of a psychopath’s inner thoughts. the twist ending was also nicely fitting. however, i can’t get over the way the premise is divested of any seriousness from the trashy writing and lack of any explanation.

There's serious satirical mileage in a psychopathic "species" hiding out in plain sight as ordinary suburbanites, waiting for the signal to turn on their unsuspecting friends and neighbors. Castle, however, is in it for the shock and awe. Though it shocks plenty - tough spending 320 pages in the head of a homicidal father counting the minutes to kill his family without getting jumpy - the awe is in shorter supply, as the heaviest questions are shrugged off in favor of meatball gore. The matriarch is a more promising narrator, wondering if her husband's emotional distance is just a side effect of sustained marriage, but only earns fleeting moments of emotional clarity between crushes on every male character and problem-solving bouts of gratuitous sex. There's a fine line between effectively disturbing and plain unpleasant, and The Strangers gleefully trips over it too many times.

Recenziu pre Fandom.sk napísala Ena:

Kto je cudzinec? Osoba pochádzajúca z inej kultúry, štátu či kontinentu? Občas žijeme celé roky vedľa človeka o ktorom si myslíme, že ho poznáme, že sme jedno telo, jedna duša. Prípadne sme s ním naladení na rovnakú vlnovú dĺžku. No jedného dňa zistíme, ako veľmi sme sa mýlili. Že človeka, ktorého sme pred hodinou považovali za blízkeho, v podstate vôbec nepoznáme. Je cudzinec…

Ak chcete bez ujmy prežiť vo svete plnom ľudí, ktorých považujete za nuly, je najlepšie zapadnúť, splynúť s davom. Musíte to vedieť na ostatných presvedčivo zahrať. Pretvárka je pre cudzincov druhé ja, až dokým nepríde ich čas. Voľakto by sa spýtal, čo to znamená? No skôr je namieste otázka, aké to bude mať následky…

Cudzinci.
Michael Louden je typická americká hlava rodiny. Miluje svoju manželku, svoje deti a je ten najlepší sused.
Ibaže toto všetko je len jeho fasáda. Maska. Michael je vskutočnosti Cudzinec. Bezcitné vraždiace monštrum, ktoré čaká na svoj čas. Čas Cudzincov. A nie je sám.
Páni. Už dlho som sa tak pri čítaní necítil nesvoj. Nie je to čistokrvý slasher, ci horor, ale sakra napínavý psychologický thiller.
Cudzincov, vlastne rovno Michaela by som prirovnal k Dexterovy, keby nemal ten morálny kompas od otca.
Vlastne celý čas som mal pocit, že je to autorova hlavná inšpirácia.
Až na miestami dosť nelogické počínanie postáv, a predvídatelnosť, sa mi kniha páčila

Straszna miełocz, pusta i przez większość czasu bezsensownie rozpychana niekończącymi się opisami jałowego życia rodzinnego "wzorcowego" amerykańskiego małżeństwa. Przy czym wbrew pozorom nie jest to żadna fantastyka, bo Obcymi nazwali się psychopatyczni mordercy, którzy - bidulki - muszą udawać zwykłych ludzi, podczas gdy w środku aż ich skręca od żądzy zrzucenia maski uprzejmości i zabrania się do seryjnego podrzynania gardeł członkom rodziny, sąsiadom, etc. Generalnie obcowanie z tą książką należy do mocno wątpliwych przyjemności...

Ciekawa i osobliwa książka , pierwszy raz czytam książkę z gatunku horror . Początek trochę nudny , ale potem się super rozwija i końcówka mega zaskoczenie . Nie jest to nowa książka , wiec doceniam za ciekawy pomysł i cały zamysł przedstawienia obcego w nietypowy sposób . Nie jako jakiegoś aliena itp albo coś zupełnie innego . Ogólnie polecam

Meh. Not as shocking as anticipated. Doesn't live up to all the hype.

A lot of world building without any actual detail such as who the Strangers are or how they came to be.

The Happy Man by Eric C. Higgs, which came out around the same time as The Strangers, does it better.

The twist on the twist at the end was good but it doesn't really make up for the rest of it.

The rare '80s horror that actually manages to be disturbing and gory -- pretty bleak and shocking while also delivering some moments of black humor. Wouldn't recommend to many, but I enjoyed it cover to cover. Unpredictable and unhinged. Leisure needed a better copy editor, though; the amount of typos in this was consistently distracting.

A great novel. It gave me the same feel as Richard Laymon's One Rainy Night. Micheal as a main character kept you engaged. Knowing he was the perfect psychopath.
