Strangers

Strangers

“The plot twists ingeniously...an engaging, often chilling book.”— The New York Times Book Review   A writer in California. A doctor in Boston. A motel owner and his employee in Nevada. A priest in Chicago. A robber in New York. A little girl in Las Vegas. They’re a handful of people from across the country, living through eerie variations of the same nightmare.    A dark memory is calling out to them. And soon they will be drawn together, deep in the heart of a sprawling desert, where the terrifying truth awaits... “A unique spellbinder that captures the reader on the first page. Exciting, enjoyable, and an intensely satisfying read.”—Mary Higgins Clark “[Koontz] is a great storyteller, and Strangers features a plot so original you’ll be reading, with chills, well into the morning.”— New York Daily News “Koontz is a master at constructing vivid, eerily realistic worlds that hold readers spellbound. A memorable thriller.”— Booklist More Praise for Dean Koontz “Dean Koontz is a prose stylist whose lyricism heightens malevolence and tension. [He creates] characters of unusual richness and depth.”— The Seattle Times “Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose....‘Serious’ writers...might do well to examine his technique.”— The New York Times Book Review “Lyrical writing and compelling characters...Koontz stands alone.”—Associated Press “In every industry there exist ‘artists’ that are not only unforgettable, but know their craft better than the rest. Dean Koontz...is among these artisans.”— Suspense Magazine “[Koontz] has always had near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match.”— Los Angeles Times “Perhaps more than any other author, Koontz writes fiction perfectly suited to the mood of America...novels that acknowledge the reality and tenacity of evil but also the power of good...[and that] entertain vastly as they uplift.”— Publishers Weekly Dean Koontz was born in Everett, Pennsylvania, and grew up in nearby Bedford. He won an Atlantic Monthly fiction competition when he was twenty and has been writing ever since. Mr. Koontz's books are published in 38 languages. Worldwide sales total more than 175 million copies, a figure that currently increases at a rate of more than 350 million copies a year. Dean and his wife, Gerda, live in southern California.
