As somebody who suffered for years from shattering episodes of this disorder, complete with the hypnagogic visions of a malevolent presence in the room, I've been finding the previews for THE FOURTH KIND to be uncommonly riveting, since the connections are, as Mr. Meehan points out in his review, quite obvious. Also fascinating to see you talking in the previous post about your own experience with sleep paralysis, John. I discovered the de Maupassant connection some years ago and, like you, was quite struck by it. I think the relevance of sleep paralysis to the fantastic and horrific storytelling traditions is ripe to bursting.
