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

Thriller master Dean Koontz returns with a horrific tale of a monster on the loose in a city overcome by a blizzard. Narrator Christopher Lane reads in a grave voice that brings the nightmare to life. Lane's slight changes in tone and accent are subtle yet effective; he’s never over-the-top as many performers might be with such a foreboding story. Koontz's terse writing style is well realized in Lane's reading. The mounting tension for which Koontz is so highly regarded is allowed to unfold at a steady pace, making listeners bite their fingernails down to the quick as they await the climax.
