Strange Highways (Paperback) August 1, 1996 |
One of the most popular and prolific writers of our
time, Dean Koontz has penned many classic New York Times bestsellers,
but nothing quite like this. STRANGE HIGHWAYS is Koontz's spellbinding
collection of tales interconnected by the strange highways of human
experience-the adventures, terrors, failures, and triumphs encountered
on the roads that are chosen, and on those detoured by fate. As profound
as it is mesmerizing, STRANGE HIGHWAYS is a remarkable achievement. |

The Face of Fear (Paperback) May 15, 1989 |
You and your friend Sarah are being chased by a
homicidal maniac through an office building in the middle of the night.
You take refuge in an empty office like frightened cockroaches, but the
doors are forced open, revealing your antenna-quivering vulnerability.
In desperation, you scramble up and down elevator shafts with one lame
leg dangling helplessly behind, and try other life-threatening feats
that seem to be more appealing than getting an ice-pick through your
skull. |

Whispers (Paperback) June 12, 2001 |
He's back--the terror
that stalked Hilary Thomas as a child is back in her life, in her house,
at her bedroom door. She killed him once. But he keeps coming back.
Again. And again... |

Shadowfires (Paperback) August 1994 |
Rachel Leben’s violently possessive ex-husband was
killed in a freak auto accident, but his hideously mangled body has
disappeared from the morgue. Now someone, or something, is watching her.
Stalking her. And, although no one will believe her, Rachel knows who it
is. His walking corpse a grotesque mockery of life. His brilliant,
warped mind once again “alive” and seething with jealous rage. He seeks
an unspeakable revenge from beyond her worst nightmare, stalking her
with a murderous lust that will not die . . . |

Twilight Eyes (Paperback) September 1, 1987 |
Now this book is about a gifted young man
who can see the evil presence lurking beneath a human disguise. This
evil is a physical being - not something of spiritual nature - 'goblins'
as he calls them. He stalks them, kills them, and he can also see the
misery that they had brought over the earth. Like in all of Dean's
books, the story is enhanced by several very real, very compelling
characters. And as usual, you'll love and admire the characters. You'll
be surprised too, because things will be turned upside down quite a few
times, which is what makes this book exciting. |

Strangers (Paperback) October 1, 2002 |
Six strangers are unaccountably seized by
nightmares, attacks of fear, and bouts of uncharacteristic behavior. The
six begin to seek each other out as puzzling photographs and messages
arrive, indicating that the cause may lie in a forgotten weekend stay at
an isolated Nevada motel. Koontz has topped a fine roster of horror and
suspense novels with an almost unbearably suspenseful page-turner. His
ability to maintain the mystery through several plot twists is
impressive, as is his array of believable and sympathetic characters.
With its masterful blend of elements of espionage, terror, and even some
science fiction, Strangers may be the suspense novel of the year. |

The Funhouse (Paperback) June 1, 1994 |
His perennial bestsellers are seamless
weaves of horror, fantasy, suspense and science fiction... engrossing
entertainment [that] transcend the imaginative possibilities of any one
of the genres from which they borrow. A master storyteller, sometimes
humorous, sometimes shocking, but always riveting. His characters
sparkle with life. |

wife-beating redneck and Colin lives alone with his mother who is always

only friend is Roy Borden, also fourteen. Roy sometimes likes to talk
about sick things, but Colin just assumes he's putting him on. When Roy
reveals that he's killed not only animals, but people, Colin doesn't
believe him. But when Colin tries to force him into helping him cause a
massive disaster in town, Colin must make the most important decision of
his life. If he refuses, Roy will kill him. If he goes along with it,
he'll be responsible for several lives. |
