Phantoms

CLOSER…They found the town silent, apparently abandoned. Then they found the first body strangely swollen and still warm. One hundred fifty were dead, 350 missing. But the terror had only begun in the tiny mountain town of Snowfield, California. AND CLOSER…At first they thought it was the work of a maniac. Or terrorists. Or toxic contamination. Or a bizarre new disease. AND CLOSER…But then they found the truth. And they saw it in the flesh. And it was worse than anything any of them had ever imagined…

The population in the ski-resort town of Snowville, California, seems to have disappeared--everyone who's alive, that is. When Dr. Jenny Paige returns with her sister, the two descend upon the desolate town with an eerie feeling that is only reinforced with the uncovering of dead bodies throughout. But the signs indicate that the people's deaths--by an inexplicable force--were recent, so Jenny and Lisa scramble to find out what happened. Buck Schirner narrates with a deep, gravelly voice that is perfect for the kind of tense atmosphere found in Koontz's books. Schirner's pacing and pitch respond to the story's context, and his characterizations of female characters are impressive, considering his deep voice.
