Night Touch
by Stephen Gresham
1988 Zebra
A blind kid in Kansas gets touched by a stranger and gains dangerous psychic powers. After accidentally killing a grad student, and purposefully killing his abusive father, he goes on a road trip with two friends on a quest to have his power removed. There's a crossover character from Rockabye Baby who's hunting the blind kid to provide an ounce of tension, but like Dew Claws this is more rural fantasy than horror. There's something comfortable about Gresham's style that I've been enjoying, as long as you don't go in expecting a Zebra bloodfest.
