Elsewhere (plus bonus short story "Parlor Trick")

Overview

The fate of the world is in the hands of a father and daughter in an epic novel of wonder and terror by Dean Koontz, the #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense.

Since his wife, Michelle, left seven years ago, Jeffy Coltrane has worked to maintain a normal life for himself and his eleven-year-old daughter, Amity, in Suavidad Beach. It's a quiet life, until a local eccentric known as Spooky Ed shows up on their doorstep.

Ed entrusts Jeffy with hiding a strange and dangerous object-something he calls “the key to everything”-and tells Jeffy that he must never use the device. But after a visit from a group of ominous men, Jeffy and Amity find themselves accidentally activating the key and discovering an extraordinary truth. The device allows them to jump between parallel planes at once familiar and bizarre, wondrous and terrifying. And Jeffy and Amity can't help but wonder, could Michelle be just a click away?

Jeffy and Amity aren't the only ones interested in the device. A man with a dark purpose is in pursuit, determined to use its grand potential for profound evil. Unless Amity and Jeffy can outwit him, the place they call home may never be safe again.

Includes an audio-only short story, "Parlor Trick," a kind of karmic coda to the novel.

Editorial Reviews

DECEMBER 2020 - AudioFile

Edoardo Ballerini and Imani Parks unevenly narrate this high-fantasy adventure. Father-and-daughter Jeffy and Amity are living a peaceful life when Spooky Ed comes and entrusts Jeffy with a device that allows travel between parallel universes. That’s when their lives take a turn for the worse. The various plot threads of this work can be bewildering, but Ballerini’s strong voice takes charge and commands attention. In contrast, Parks misfires as Amity by narrating sluggishly and out of sync. Still, listeners who are looking to be enthralled by alternate dimensions and faraway worlds will be swept away. A bonus audio-only short story titled “Parlor Trick,” performed by an ensemble of narrators, concludes this high-stakes fantasy audiobook. A.C. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
