What connects the nightmares of strangers…?
In Strangers, Dean Koontz writes a terrifying thriller of the consequences of one fateful night in a lonely motel. Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Richard Laymon.
‘[Koontz] is a great storyteller, and Strangers features a plot so original you’ll be reading, with chills, well into the morning’ – New York Daily News
A surgeon, a writer, a motel-keeper, a priest and a thief; they have nothing in common – nothing but one hot summer night at the Tranquillity Motel: a night filled with unending terror; a night when an awesome power stripped them of their memories.
Now the evil is creeping back into their minds. Slowly, tauntingly, maddeningly, they are recalling the unspeakable events of that fateful moonlit evening. And as the vision of evil grows clearer, the guests of the Tranquillity Motel seek each other out. Some of them will not live to face the power head on. But some will – in a terror-packed climax unlike anything ever experienced before…
What readers are saying about Strangers:
‘As the story progressed, I felt the fear and exaltation experienced by Koontz’ characters as the secrets of their nightmares were revealed one by one‘
‘You’ve just got to keep reading to find out what happens next – it is truly unputdownable‘
‘Simply put, this is the best bit of fiction I have read thus far‘
