What a good idea! Funny thing I noticed; Poe inspired Lovecraft. Lovecraft inspired Robert Bloch. Robert Bloch inspired Blatty. “I remember very distinctly reading a funny ghost or terror story in Unknown by Robert Bloch. He started me on my writing career. I just fell apart with laughter, and I would call my friends and read the entire story to them. And I caught fire. I wanted to write something like that. And I started trying comedy, because it was the laughs that got me.” Anyway, Breakthrough by Konstantin Raudive.
Legion. Dr. Amfortas’ letter to Dyer 😉 Also mention of Colin Smythe, author of the introduction. Amfortas (as far as I remember) didn’t like Breakthrough, but liked Smythe.
Introduction, as in introduction to Legion…? Or am I missing something?
I only currently have the re-released paperback copy of the book with The Exorcist III poster on the cover.
Really? Thanks! I’m still resizing others so I’ll see what I like best. 🙂 Or what everyone else likes… everyone else has to endure my gruesomeness too!
Bad memory re: Clelia: actually, Jung may have cited her name from his study of the paranormal rather than participating directly in a seance.
Miss Clelia in the film is from Jung – “Clelia” was one of the dissociated personalities or “spirits” Jung encountered in a seance. Also the patient in the novel who goes thru shoe-making motions was a patient of Jung. Like Temple, Jung figured out what the motions meant. I think both are found in Jung’s “Memories, Dreams, and Reflections”, but I can’t swear to it.
