Never quite know when I pick up a Dean Koontz book whether I will like it or not. He has written some very good books, but he’s also written the stupidest book I’ve ever read (Tick Tock.) Usually if it’s an older one, I’ll enjoy it. This one was excellent! Gets right into it at the beginning with the discovery of a small town in Northern California in which its residents have either died or disappeared. It’s good and creepy and at times with the science, feels like a Michael Crichton novel. There’s also some actual history in the novel regarding mass disappearances of people and fish. I was pleased that the book had a great battle of good vs evil and was all wrapped up by the end. This is a perfect read for the Halloween season, but if you’re like me, any time of the year. Can highly recommend!

I agree with your take on Koontz's books as never knowing what you will get, but that is good for most authors. I did however enjoy Tick Tock very much, but that is just my opinion. Happy reading.

This sounds good, I do enjoy many of his works!

This is a great horror. Perfect for Halloween!
Phantoms is one of my favourite books, along with Watchers and Strangers. I agree that his earlier books are far superior - I gave up around the point of Odd Thomas.

Never read anything by Koontz. Where should I start?

Tay wrote: "Never read anything by Koontz. Where should I start?"I agree with Jay, any of the earlier ones, like this one, Hideaway, Midnight, Servants of Twilight are a few I can think of off the top of my head.
Watchers, Phantoms, Strangers, Lightning, Darkness Comes, Night Chills, or Midnight. If you can get hold of it, there's also a kid's picture book called Oddkins, which I adored. He started to deteriorate around Cold Fire.
Tik Tok was written to be stupid and slapstick.
