The Servants of Twilight (Paperback) May 1, 1990 |
Previously issued as a paperback original
under the pseudonym Leigh Nichols, this is one of Koontz's better
thrillers. Single parent Christine Scavello and her young son Joey find
themselves confronted by a madwoman, Grace Spivey, who fancies she
discerns the Antichrist in Joey's cherubic visage. Spivey is the
charismatic leader of a religious cult whose fanatic members do her
every bidding, including murdering the little boy, and everyone who
stands in their way. After the police fail to provide adequate
protection, Christine turns to private detective Charlie Harrison, whose
business and home are soon firebombed by the cultists, and two of his
men murdered, even as he finds that he is falling in love with
Christine. The narrative moves along briskly until the last third, at
which point a frantic chase sequence goes on too long. Nevertheless,
this is a better than average adventure with supernatural overtones. |

Winter Moon (Paperback) January 30, 2001 |
A brush with death prompts L.A. policeman Jack
McGarvey to move wife Heather and son Toby up to Quartermass Ranch, a
Montana estate bequeathed to them by Eduardo Fernandez, the father of
Jack's former partner. The McGarveys settle in, dismissing strange
noises and smells, as well as weird trances that seem to grip Toby from
time to time, as the embodiment of common fears of urbanites confronted
by open spaces. It seems Eduardo had had uninvited visitors: the Givers,
creatures from another dimension who came for an incomprehensible,
apparently evil purpose. Scared out of his wits, Ed succumbed to a heart
attack, but not before scrawling his discovery on a legal pad and
stashing it in the freezer. These Givers are actually takers, assuming
control of bodies and corpses to use them as vehicles in which to create
mayhem. And now they want control of Toby. |
