What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Pulls out all the stops…an incredible, terrifying tale.”— Publishers Weekly “Koontz is an expert at creating believable characters.”—The Detroit News and Free Press “One of our finest and most versatile suspense writers.”—The Macon Telegraph & News “Koontz’s gift is that he makes his monsters seem ‘realer,’ and he makes the characters who fight [them] as normal as anyone you’d meet on a street.”—Orlando Sentinel

Editorial Reviews

Pulls out all the stops...an incredible, terrifying tale.”—Publishers Weekly

More Praise for Dean Koontz

“Dean Koontz is a prose stylist whose lyricism heightens malevolence and tension. [He creates] characters of unusual richness and depth.”—The Seattle Times

“Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose....‘Serious’ writers...might do well to examine his technique.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Lyrical writing and compelling characters...Koontz stands alone.”—Associated Press

“In every industry there exist ‘artists’ that are not only unforgettable, but know their craft better than the rest. Dean Koontz...is among these artisans.”—Suspense Magazine

“[Koontz] has always had near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match.”—Los Angeles Times

“Perhaps more than any other author, Koontz writes fiction perfectly suited to the mood of America...novels that acknowledge the reality and tenacity of evil but also the power of good...[and that] entertain vastly as they uplift.”—Publishers Weekly

From the Publisher

Dean Koontz returns with a run-of-the-mill murder mystery that involves the evil spirit of a man whom Hilary Thomas killed, an act that keeps coming back to terrorize her. Narrator William Dufris fails to capture the dark and gloomy atmosphere so characteristic of Koontz's stories. He shows little enthusiasm for the story and his portrayals of the characters do not make them believable. Overall, Dufris's narration is both overplayed and stereotypical. While the story is not the most original of Koontz’s offerings, the audio production is not enhanced by Dufris's narration. L.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
