Publisher Description

“The plot twists ingeniously...an engaging, often chilling book.”—The New York Times Book Review

A writer in California. A doctor in Boston. A motel owner and his employee in Nevada. A priest in Chicago. A robber in New York. A little girl in Las Vegas. They’re a handful of people from across the country, living through eerie variations of the same nightmare.

A dark memory is calling out to them. And soon they will be drawn together, deep in the heart of a sprawling desert, where the terrifying truth awaits...

"I don't know whagt it is about this book that I love so much, but it's one of my favorites. I've read a lot of Dean Koontz books and after a while, his fantastical plots all start to blur together into one big pile of (the good kind of) crazy but the plot for this book has always stood out to me. I can't even remember the number of times I've read it but every time I do, I feel like I come away with something new."

Quotes

  • “The plot twists ingeniously…An engaging, often chilling, book…Hard to put down, except when making sure the doors and windows were securely locked.”

    — New York Times Book Review
  • “Koontz has topped a fine roster of horror and suspense novels…His ability to maintain the mystery through several plot twists is impressive, as is his array of believable and sympathetic characters. With its masterful blend of elements of espionage, terror, and even some science fiction, Strangers may be the suspense novel of the year.”

    — Library Journal
  • “Koontz is a master at constructing vivid, eerily realistic worlds…A memorable thriller.”

    — Booklist

    — Stephen King

    " The whole time that I was reading this book I was puzzled and dying to know the ending. Many things get thrown into the storyline that make no sense, until the very end when everything comes together. Overall, it was a pleasant read. "

    " I've read several books by Dean Koontz already and I really liked all of those, but "Strangers" is the first novel that seemed a bit too detailed at times. I usually hate doing that but I couldn't keep myself from skipping over a few paragraphs here and there because I just felt like it was a bit overdone. I love the storyline itself and the characters are very interesting - if only it could have been about 100 pages less this could have been a great book. "

    " I actually enjoyed this one. Scary things are happening to a group of strangers who turn out to be connected because of an unusual experience that none of them can remember. Koontz actually keeps the mystery alive throughout the whole novel (and it's a long one too). Good read. "

    " There is a lot to like in this book: dynamic characters, attention to detail, government coverups, etc. The part that I found difficult to accept was the portrayal of the Catholic priest, whose crisis of faith seemed forced and unrealistic. "

    " I really liked this idea of this story and would have given it another star if some parts were shortened. I really liked the characters and how it ended but it dragged out in a few parts. When the story was moving it was really captivating. "

    " My first Koontz book. A friend recommended him, as I am a big Stephen King fan. The book is over 600 pages, and hard to start, great middle, great at the end, awful ending. Just my opinion. I miss King endings. So, I will read another Koontz, this time Lightening, and see how it fares... "
