The Mikes enter again the echo chamber of the Forbidden Books Group Studios and stir things up with another Matheson classic. We also get to explore the horror of the suburbs and neighbors.
It's Cocktail Time!
A Stir of Liquors
Go to your liquor cabinet. Randomly select 5 bottles and set them in a row.
Open your eyes and pour a half-shot of each into a cocktail shaker. Add ice, shake, and decant.
You take your chances.

About the 'psi' novels you mention...
I've been reading my way through a huge stack of Astounding Science Fiction zines from the 50s and psi/psionics/psychic stuff is all over the place. The guy running the magazine, John W. Campbell, was into various odd bits of psuedoscience and social theory... including Dianetics. The magazine also featured non-fiction articles about research of the time that supposedly supported it.
Because of these magazine I'd assumed for a long time, as a kid, that most 50s scifi authors were strong proponents for psi as a real/measurable thing... but maybe it's just cause Campbell was a bit of a kook.
