Unputdownable, with surprisingly deep characterization, and a super-smart dog that runs around adorably. + a nightmarish monster that escapes a laboratory and starts munching on the peaceful population of modern suburbia. An immaculate mix of horror, romance, and action.......more

“His best story yet!

A fable about love and trust...with echoes of Frankenstein and The Island of Dr. Moreau. A breakthrough for Koontz.”—Kirkus Reviews“Displaying...more depth and a lot more humor than Stephen King, Dean Koontz has really hit his stride.”—The New York Times Book Review
