About this ebook

The chilling account of a pivotal encounter between innocence and ultimate malice, Darkness Under the Sun is the perfect read for Halloween—or for any haunted night—and reveals a secret, fateful turning point in the career of Alton Turner Blackwood, the killer at the dark heart of What the Night Knows, the forthcoming novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz.
 
There once was a killer who knew the night, its secrets and rhythms. How to hide within its shadows. When to hunt.
         He roamed from town to town, city to city, choosing his prey for their beauty and innocence. His cruelties were infinite, his humanity long since forfeit. But still . . . he had not yet discovered how to make his special mark among monsters, how to come fully alive as Death.
         This is the story of how he learned those things, and of what we might do to ensure that he does not visit us.

Was an "as usual Koontz great" that I loved up until the "beast" left, leaving the boy and his family alive. After that, it was like Mr Koontz was rushing thru to get done as quickly as possible. Like he didn't have enough time or room left to finish. I have been a HUGE Koontz fan for many years...since Mr Koontz and I were both young. But if this is his novella style, then I'm somewhat disappointed. A great start with no time to finish?

Having read almost every book Dean Koontz has written I can say I was very dissatisfied disapointed, and a little angry I spent 2 bucks to read what appears to be an exercise or just something he pulled from the trash. First time ever I had anything negative to say about his books. I feel cheated!!

A very lighthearted start carries you off into a thrill that will send chills down your spine, back your chair up against the wall and wish you had installed shatterproof windows complimented by steel doors. Just the kind of writing we all expect from Dean Koontz! And in the end, just when it seems to be over, there is this nagging feeling that there might be more and once again we will look over our shoulder, shivering... And then there it is, the next book, taking off where this one ended.
