Gripping, Suspenseful, What A Fertile Mind. Such An Imagination...

The Evil all around

This one is so very difficult, as every Dean Koontz book I have ever read was written so vividly, that you just felt that you were right there and fighting for your very life right alongside the potential victims and the past victims.



Dean Koontz has written under several pseudonyms, more than I even knew. I don't think I could ever read all his books, but while looking for the title of the story I really wanted to tell you about, I came across a list of titles to nearly all, if not all of the books Mr. Koontz has ever written, under every pseudonym as well as his own name. I still could not recall the title of the story I originally had in mind.



"Demon Seed" was all about being held prisoner in your own home by what at first appeared to be someone or something unseen, yet able to control everything about the whole security system and...



One other book in particular, in addition to Demon Seed, (and I can't recall the title of that story) was about a young woman who went to the Napa Valley Wine Country to visit a friend and her family for a bit.



Hardly had she arrived when the whole thing began. A mad killer, wiped out every living person there, except for this young woman, who had managed to stay out of sight.



She decided to make sure he was stopped and brought to justice. She managed to hide out in a motor home that he came out and drove away, with her hiding in back.



At every turn, once he discovered her, he was either torturing her, or she was fighting for her very life, over and over, with the suspense growing and growing, again and again. If she managed to get away, she was stopped, and well, if your are into Dean Koontz, you too have most likely read that story too.



If anyone remembers which title that story was, please let me know. I had a collection of all his books that I had read, but I ran out of room, and finally donated them all to a local library. Otherwise, I could have just looked through my own library to make sure of the title and had that book up for the picture.



This I think was the absolute most riveting book I have ever read.



I have read many of Dean Koontz' books,
