Don't Look Now

In a smoky bar, a drunken, feverish Lyman corners a skeptical reporter in a brown suit with an impossible claim: Martians secretly rule the world. After a bizarre accident involving high-frequency waves damaged his brain, Lyman says he gained the power to see their hidden third eye and their human disguises, making him immune to the hypnosis-like commands that erase ordinary memories and keep people obedient. He begs the reporter to help expose the truth before the Martians silence him, insisting their influence explains censorship, irrational behavior, and the strange workings of daily life. As the conversation deepens, Lyman's theory widens into a chilling conspiracy in which Martians have shaped human history, war, architecture, and technology for their own ends. The reporter mocks and probes him, but the more Lyman argues, the harder it becomes to dismiss him outright. Part paranoia, part revelation, this tense exchange blurs the line between madness and insight. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
