Reviews

“Koontz is a superb plotter and wordsmith. He chronicles the hopes and fears of our time in broad strokes and fine detail, using popular fiction to explore the human condition [and] demonstrating that the real horror of life is found not in monsters, but within the human psyche.”—USA Today

“A compelling read… The odd juxtaposition of a police procedural with a neo-gothic, mad scientist plot gives the novel a wickedly unusual and intriguing feel … with an elegant cliffhanger ending.”—Publishers Weekly

“This is classic Koontz at his best. The plot zips along, and the characters are grotesque and funny. The basic elements of Mary Shelley’s novel, though slightly altered, fit right in.”—Fangoria

“One of the master storytellers of this or any age.”—Tampa Tribune
