Resumen del Editor

Tommy Phan is a successful detective novelist living the American dream in Southern California. One evening he comes home to find a small rag doll on his doorstep. It’s a simple doll, covered entirely in white cloth, with crossed black stitches for the eyes and mouth, and another pair forming an X over the heart. Curious, he brings it inside.

That night Tommy hears an odd popping sound and looks up to see the stitches breaking over the doll’s heart. And in minutes the fabric of Tommy Phan’s reality will be torn apart. Something terrifying emerges from the pristine white cloth, something that will follow Tommy wherever he goes. Something that he can’t destroy. It wants Tommy’s life, and he doesn’t know why. He has only one ally, a beautiful, strangely intuitive waitress he meets by chance - or by a design far beyond his comprehension. He has too many questions, no answers, and very little time. Because the vicious and demonically clever doll has left this warning on Tommy’s computer screen: The deadline is dawn.

NOT what I expected!

Started out quite creepy/spooky before it turned humorous. The female protagonist was unpredictable and funny. Nothing is quite as it seems. Good story and I hate spoilers so I won't say more except I recommend it for adults (a bit of it is not really acceptable for kids...in my opinion).
Get it. It was fun and spooky all in one.

Just ok

I'm used to riveting "Wow!" endings to Dean Koontz novels, but this one was a little obvious and kind of plain. It was a good time filler, but not his best.

I love the tie in at the end. Won’t spoil it for the next reader

Awesome story koonz really weaves a narrative that is both unbelievable and highly entertaining and captivating from the first page

So disappointing!!!

I love Dean Koontz but this was just awful. I kept telling myself that it would get better and it never did.

My personal favorite

This was the audiobook the got me addicted many years ago. My brother got it from a library on cassette tape and I have a listen to it at work so I wouldn’t talk to him while he was listening to his book. Many years later I still listen to this book every few years. Loved every moment of it then and still.

Loved it

I enjoyed the book, I enjoy all of Dean Koontz books, he is an excellent writer.

The Best

I didn’t have to wait for the story to take hold of me. I never got a chance to get bored. The story continue to surprise me and entertain me. It was a great read and a lot of fun.

Starts slow but really gets more interesting all along the way.

Hope to hear more stories from Tommy Tofu and Deliverance Pain adventures in future books.

Loved it!

This was a great story- full of suspense, action, and humor. It was certainly entertaining!

Great story

So weird….but I loved it. At first I was thinking…this is a stupid book..then it got fun. Reminds me a lot of “John Dies at the End,” By Jason Pargin…aka John Wong. Certainly not the same story but the same strangeness of it. So if you’re a fan of that book you’ll love this one.
