Hideaway (Paperback) July 5, 2005 |
Koontz's novels crest
bestseller lists not only for their heart-pounding horrors but also for
their celebration of righteousness and redemption. Here, the author of
Cold Fire, etc., offers his most overtly religious tale yet--a fiercely
exciting battle between two men who have returned from the dead. The
California-set conflict is as simple as good vs. evil. In a roaringly
suspenseful opening, antique-dealer Hatch Harrison, the soul of
sweetness, drowns during a car accident that nearly kills his wife
Lindsey as well, and is surgically "reanimated" after a record 80
minutes dead... |

The House of Thunder (Paperback) June 1, 1992 |
Koontz has come up
with an intriguing premise: Susan Thornton wakes up in a hospital
after a serious car accident with an odd, selective amnesia. She can
remember nothing of her job, yet she is stricken with fear when the
company she works for is named. And that's not all. Thirteen years
earlier, Susan had witnessed the murder of her boyfriend during a
brutal fraternity hazing; her testimony sent one of the four men
responsible to prison. Now she sees the same men, looking not a day
older, walking the corridors of the hospital. Even worse, she has
recurrent macabre hallucinations involving them and the decomposing
corpse of her boyfriend. Susan doubts her sanity until she stumbles
upon a bit of hard evidence right out of one of the
"hallucinations." |

The Face (Paperback) April 27, 2004 |
In The Face,
Koontz has created a modern fable for adults, taking the bones from
tales of old and breathing new life into the characters. Clearly
written for adults, The Face nevertheless channels the wit
and wisdom of Aesop as well as the violence and villainy of the
Brothers Grimm. While Koontz's penchant for elaborately singsong
descriptions can be grating, ultimately it lends this tale its
folkloric quality, i.e. "The June-bug jitter, scarab click,
tumblebug tap of the beetle-voiced rain spoke at the window,
click-click-click."

suicides, and a shocking twist at the end that keeps Sole
Survivor racing along from one improbable but undeniably
thrilling event to the next. |
