This is the first story I've read from Dean Koontz. I've heard that he can be a hit or miss but from just this short story alone I am definitely interested in reading more of his stories. Some of the concepts used in this are things I absolutely hate reading and yet I was fully invested and at the edge of my seat wondering what was happening. It was tightly written and atmospheric and I think he has a clever way of writing. If you can find a recording of James Spader narrating this I highly recommend listening. I thought he did such an amazing job.
