There are certain themes in paranormal fiction just don’t thrill me all that much. One of them is aliens, and another is psychic powers. Unfortunately the late 1970s and early 1980s were all about trying to uncover hidden potential in humans. I almost dropped watching Stranger Things, because I was turned offby the whole psychedelic, government experiment plot( thankfully I did continue on and eventually fell in love). I can’t believe world leaders were spending million on this ludicrous woo woo. Well, these people also wore bell bottoms with unashamed abandon and create the wonder pet rocks. It is a great action thriller about a father and daughter on the run from the men in black, and it is written with an unmistakable skill.
