The Mind Parasites

The Supernatural Metaphysical Cult Thriller

Colin Wilson

This thrilling story blends Lovecraftian horror with a revolutionary philosophy about mind parasites that have been feeding on humanity for over 200 years. A professor's horrifying discovery leads to a battle for humanity's existence, fought with the only weapon they have: the mind. The limits of human consciousness are pushed to new heights as they fight to read each other's thoughts and shift the moon's orbit. This stunning and high-tension story is a must-read for fans of horror and sci-fi.

For a wonderful story recapitulating Wilson's ideas, I also recommend his takeoff on H.P. Lovecraft, The Mind Parasites.) Wilson also shaped my relationship to books. So many critics write about literature and philosophy as a dead thing, an artifact. Wilson writes about it as a conversation with another mind about what is true.      source
