| Summary | "Strange Alliance" by Bryce Walton is a psychological horror novel written in the mid-20th century. The book delves into the complicated psyche of Doctor Spechaug, a psychology professor who becomes embroiled in a dark and mysterious connection with a fellow student, Edith Bailey. The story explores themes of identity, heritage, and the unsettling impact of one's past, against the backdrop of a small, superstitious town that harbors deep-seated fears. The narrative follows Doctor Spechaug as he grapples with his violent actions and strange afflictions. After an incident involving his wife, he encounters Edith, who shares his mysterious background and unsettling fears related to their heritage in Hungary. As their bond deepens, they find themselves pursued by the local townspeople, leading to harrowing confrontations that reveal the darker aspects of their nature. As the story unfolds, the characters confront their hidden truths and ancestral superstitions, culminating in a tense and tragic conclusion tied to the themes of reflection and identity.
