Odd Thomas - Dean Koontz

Dean Koontz is a prolific writer. Born and raised in Pennsylvania, he has managed to score New York Times best sellers with 8 hardbacks and 11 paperbacks in a writing career that spans 5 decades. Odd Thomas was published earlier this year and represents a Christmas gift based on my love of the horror/fantasy genre. “My name is Odd Thomas, though in this day and age when fame is at the altar at which most people worship, I am not sure why you should care who I am or that I exist.” Those opening words of chapter 1 set the tone for the introspective 20-year-old to tell a strange tale in the first person to his metaphorical audience that amounts to you and I.

Twilight Eyes - Dean Koontz

I just finishing reading this book and I have to say it isn?t one of my favourite of Dean Koontz books, but it?s still a good book, a little slow It just isn?t as fast paced as his other books.

Slim having this special talent can see through this human façade. The goblins only function in life is to kill humans and so Slim, kills these goblins whenever he can. Slim Mackenzie is both hunter and hunted after killing his Uncle, who turned out to be one of these goblins, he is on the run from the police., so ...
