About this listen
A sanity-twisting Koontz classic about a traumatized woman and the terrifying place she might never escape.
“Koontz is brilliant.”–Chicago Sun-Times
Susan Thornton watched in terror as her lover died a brutal death in a college hazing. And in the four years that followed, the four young men who participated in that grim fraternity ritual also died violently—or so she thought.
Twelve years later, Susan wakes in a hospital bed. Apparently involved in a fatal accident, she can’t remember who she is or why she is there. All she knows is that her life is unfolding into a menacing nightmare—and that the faces that surround her, are those of the four men involved in that murder years ago.
Have the dead come back to life? Or has Susan plunged into the abyss of madness? With the help of her neuro-surgeon, she desperately clings to her sanity while fighting to uncover who—or what—could be coming for her.

No one could understand why Colin and Roy were best friends. Colin was so shy; Roy was so popular. Colin was fascinated by Roy - and Roy was fascinated by death. Then one day, Roy asked his timid friend: “You ever killed anything?” From that moment on, the two were bound together in a game too terrifying to imagine - and too irresistible to stop.

Amid the dizzying rides, tantalizing games of chance, and fanciful attractions of a state fair, two teenage sweethearts on the cusp of life and love's pleasures find their way to a shadowy carnival tent brimming with curiosities. There, from the bizarre and enthralling Gypsy Mummy, a mechanized merchant of dreams and prognosticator of tomorrows, the young couple learns what fate promises for them. But fate, for Odd Thomas and Stormy Llewellyn, is something altogether different: full of dark corners, sharp edges, and things no seer or soothsayer could ever anticipate.

Deucalion's path will lead him to cool, tough police detective Carson O'Connor and her devoted partner, Michael Maddison, who are tracking the slayer but will soon discover signs of something far more terrifying: an entire race of killers who are much more - and less - than human.

Story
It's a fear more paralyzing than falling. More terrifying than absolute darkness. More horrifying than anything you can imagine. It's the one fear you cannot escape, no matter where you run...no matter where you hide. It's the fear of yourself. It's real. It can happen to you. And facing it can be deadly.

Chiller to Thriller
Susan Thornton is the main character in this book. After a car crash she wakes up in a hospital and can't remember various parts of her life. What she does remember is a murder she witnessed when she was younger. Then anytime someone mentions her employer, who she can't remember panic sets in.
This was a great fast paced book. I read it in one day. Like most of the books by Mr. Koontz, the characters are colorful and well written. At times this book is a little far fetched but that's fiction.
If your looking for a book that is part medical thriller, espionage thriller, supernatural and just a lot of fun to read, then this is for you.
I gave this book 4 stars and have recommended it to many of my friends.
Pick it up and enjoy.

Not as good as I remember it
I could barely get through the audiobook. Mainly because of the terrible voice acting. I read House of Thunder back in the 90s in the Army and couldn't put it down. The female voice sounded awful to me. Most of the male voices too. A decent story can be butchered by poor voice performance.

Disappointed in the ending
I really liked it until the end, just felt like it was a lead up to a quick wrap up. Always great writing though.

Love Dean Koontz books
I've been reading Dean Koontz books for over 30 years and I love his work. This is not his best book but not his worst as some of the reviews would like you to believe. The narrating was difficult at times I agree, both the male and female and I feel I paid too much for this audio book. My favorite Dean Koontz book is By the Light of the Moon and I am sad that no sequels were ever written to it. I love the super heros almost as much as I love Dean Koontz books!

mmmm, Didnt I just read this?!
I like Koontz, but those who read alot of his books will realize that many times alot of his books have the same exact concept!
When you just happen to read 2 or 3 of his books that share the same concept, you begin thinking, what the hell?
For example...this book, and The House of Thunder....same concept. But as for the book, it does keep you interested, but as the end nears, just like typical Koontz books, there's some crazy conspirital explanation for all of it. But again, its amazing how some of his books share the same themes. But enjoy. Its not a bad listen. The female narrator is excellent! And the male "although sounding a bit too 1950ish typical actor" does a good job also.

Well worth a listen - great book
Another great book by one of my favorite authors, this one is a little predictable though, I guessed the plot two thirds of the way through but maybe that is because I am an avid fan of this authors writing and know how his mind works, well worth a listen

Good read but predictable
very good read, but the story became really predictable early. Characters were well developed and meshed well together.
