My Favorite Koontz Book...

STRANGERS by Dead Koontz, while not truly horror, was one of the most compelling books in his repertoire that I have read. I found that this book was more reminsicent of Stephen King's writing than Koontz's usual gore/scare style. The psychological aspect came to the forefront full-force in this one, and since he wrote this one, I felt his scare you silly voice dropped off and since then he has put out more and more psychological and creepy thrillers.

The novel covers the tale of six strangers that are all experiencing some very odd behavior. Nightmares, panic attacks and some even paranormal type events. When photographs start surfacing, along with cryptic messages - the strangers start piecing together that all of these "symptoms" might have been caused by a forgotten weekend in an isolated hotel in Nevada.

Koontz keeps you guessing through this entire novel, plot twists and turns are all pulled together at the end at the big reveal. It was truly a masterpiece of suspense/thriller writing. I highly recommend STRANGERS.
