The Strange Case of Mr Pelham is a 1957 novel by Anglo-Canadian writer Anthony Armstrong about a man involved in a serious car accident. The man recovers only to find himself being stalked by a seemingly identical version of himself.[1] It was made into an TV episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents in 1955 and was also made into the film The Man Who Haunted Himself in 1970.[2]
Anthony Boucher praised the novel as "a lightly amusing tale of suspense and terror and, read as fantasy, an attractive book"; Boucher, however, also quoted another reviewer who found that, reading the novel as a genre mystery, it was "an extraordinarily irritating piece of cleverness."[3]
