It might have been mere mumbo-jumbo: his already fertile imagination further stimulated by the promptings of a wise old Russian-born grandmother (Hagen), who teaches him how to empathise totally with other creatures (human and animal), a young boy refuses to believe in the death of his twin brother, whom he blames for a series of mysterious killings. ![]() His popular books are Harvest Home, The Other, Crowned Heads, Night Magic. He joined tvshow named Texas John Slaughter. His the best movies are The Other (1972), In Harms Way (1965), Fedora (1978), The Cardinal (1963) and The Longest Day (1962). Thomas Tryon (19261991), actor turned author, made his bestselling debut with The Other (1971), which spent nearly six months on the New York Times.
