The Neighbor

By: Dean Koontz

Narrated by: Malcolm Hillgartner

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Every city has its wonders and mysteries. For the Pomerantz family, the most disturbing mystery at the moment is the identity and the intentions of their new neighbor, in this eBook original short story - a prequel to The City, the gripping and moving new novel by Dean Koontz.

The year is 1967. Malcolm Pomerantz is twelve, geeky and socially awkward, while his seriously bright sister, Amalia, is spirited and beautiful. Each is the other's best friend, united by a boundless interest in the world beyond their dysfunctional parents' unhappy home. But even the troubled Pomerantz household will seem to be a haven compared to the house next door, after an enigmatic and very secretive new neighbor takes up residence in the darkest hours of the night.

great short story!

just long enough for drive to another town. loved it. it was supernatural and mysterious!

Convincing narrative

Written story brought to LIFE!! I loved it! That narrative is so powerful and moving.

Great short story! Very creepy!

Dean Koontz has a way of writing from a very lonely point of view. In this case it really serves to build up the creep factor!
I enjoyed this story very much!

Too short

I was just getting involved when it was OVER. The book was way too short.

Weak Short Story

I was not impressed. I've given this guy a chance so many times. The only thing I like about him is the beginning scene of The Taking. This short story isn't really a vivid story. I'm still confused and it's over. I don't get the point of this story.
