Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Corpus Earthling" by Louis Charbonneau is a science fiction novel written in the late 20th century. The story centers on Paul Cameron, a literature professor, who grapples with increasingly disturbing visions and voices that suggest he may be entangled in a sinister alien plot. As he navigates his daily life, Cameron becomes embroiled in both intrigue and personal relationships, particularly with a fellow student named Laurie Hendricks, while confronting his fears of losing his sanity. At the start of the narrative, Cameron wakes from a vivid nightmare where he is compelled to walk into the ocean, only to find that he's struggling with alien forces driving him toward self-destruction. His unease continues as he grapples with enigmatic voices in his mind, hinting at a broader conspiracy. In the opening chapters, he reflects on the peculiar pressures of his life — including a new neighbor and a disturbing murder case involving a waitress he sought to question. The mix of psychological suspense and potential extraterrestrial threats creates an atmosphere of tension as Cameron tries to decipher the motives of those around him while contending with the dark implications of his dreams.
