Publisher's summary

Strange days....
Winter gripped the city. Terror gripped it, too. They found four corpses in four days, each more hideous than the last.

Strange nights....
At first the cops thought they were dealing with a psychopath. But soon they heard eerie sounds in the ventilation system - and saw unearthly silver eyes in the snow-slashed night.

Final hours....
In a city paralyzed by a blizzard, something watches, something stalks.

©2008 Dean Koontz (P)2008 Brilliance Audio

Leaves you wanting more

Excellent listen - oddly enough my first Dean Koontz book. Dean is an amazing writer, but I found myself wishing there was a bit more to this universe. It was a very short book and I wish that Dawson's character was better utilized after he discovered his potential.

Regardless, a great listen.

Good old fashioned scares!

That was a lot of fun. Like a great haunted house, it starts with a good scare and throws additional ones in at regular intervals.

A scary story even if a dit dated

Bad people attacked by Voodoo. then good people attacked by Voodoo. The gates of Hell unleash creatures out of your worst nightmare. A good listen!

Very much meh

I have enjoyed Koontz books before and this was generally well-written but sorely needed 75% more scares and 100% fewer conversations where the detective partner is being insufferable and combative for no reason. The performance was excellent but I can't really recommend it unless it's free
