From the 1953 novel by Jerome Bixby.
Nice, pleasant reading makes it even more consistently creepy.
You get a lot more info/background about what/why/how Anthony thinks and does than the ‘Twilight Zone’ episode.
I actually don’t like that, though…he’s more scary when you know less about him. Adds more worry and uncertainty.
I think the TZ episode is better than this, actually. But it’s still good.
