The Parasite by Arthur Conan DoyleMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This short story explores the dark potential for mesmerism. The plot advances through the diary entries of a scientist who manages to get psychically entangled with a twisted, sociopathic hypnotist. Arthur Conan Doyle's style is rather stilted, but this adds to the plot more than it detracts. Good, quick read - available free as epub at http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/355
