The Seattle Times

“Dean Koontz is a prose stylist whose lyricism heightens malevolence and tension. [He creates] characters of unusual richness and depth.”

The New York Times Book Review

“Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose....‘Serious’ writers...might do well to examine his technique.”

Associated Press

“Lyrical writing and compelling characters...Koontz stands alone.”

Suspense Magazine

“In every industry there exist ‘artists’ that are not only unforgettable, but know their craft better than the rest. Dean Koontz...is among these artisans.”

Los Angeles Times

“[Koontz] has always had near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match.”

Publishers Weekly

“Perhaps more than any other author, Koontz writes fiction perfectly suited to the mood of America...novels that acknowledge the reality and tenacity of evil but also the power of good...[and that] entertain vastly as they uplift.”
