Book excerpt: Charles Fort said, “I think we’re property.” And that is the plot of ‘Sinister Barrier.‘ We are cattle, a source of psychic energy for beings that exist as pure energy. They feed off of our emotions and our strongest emotions are lust, hate, and fear. And so they manipulate us to display our strongest emotions for their psychic vampirism. Ghastly crimes are the everyday meal for these beings; wars are banquets for their delectations. One scientist discovers these invisible beings of energy and is able to warn others before he dies. And then, many die. One dogged investigator is pursued cross-country and back as he puts together a meeting of minds to free humanity from these invisible tyrants. Sinister Barrier was published in 1939 in the initial issue of Unknown. It was the cover story.
