Description

The BIG EVENT during Nonus, however, occurs on the 8th of the month, when we will reveal the cover of my next novel, The House at the End of the World, which will be published in January of 2023. In the end, Katie and Rain are successful in stopping Carrier and destroying Moloch. However, the victory comes at a price. Katie is badly injured, and Rain is lost in the storm. Katie is left to rebuild her life, but she knows that she will never be the same. David Rooney of Variety called the film "emotionally rich drama" "driven by soulful performances." He added, "Strong word of mouth could help elevate this touching film beyond its core audience of gay men and admirers of the book."

Katie is determined to stop Carrier and his plans for Moloch. She teams up with a young girl named Rain, who is also a target of Carrier’s. Together, Katie and Rain must face the dangers of Jacob’s Ladder Island and the power of Moloch. It's a harrowing story that elicits current times with UFOs looming overhead and the duplicity of our government.It appears that Dean Koontz finally decided to answer the question that no one was asking: “Can one novel have way too many metaphors per paragraph, to the point of rendering half of the narration semi-unreadable?” (The answer is yes.)

The film was shot on location in New York City, Phoenix, and Schomberg and Toronto in Ontario, Canada. Let me start by saying that I have been a Koontz fan for years. I have been reading and enjoying his books since the 80's. A Home at the End of the World (2004)". Rotten Tomatoes. Fandango Media . Retrieved March 13, 2018.Travers, Peter (July 23, 2004).

Although the book was published in 73' it was made into a movie, and my love for this literary genius began.

Katie is a self-imposed hermit due to her traumatic past. One day, she heard some explosions from the neighboring island. What comes next were a series of events where, together with a young adolescent named Libby, they witness some secrets of the government concerning about an escaped biological horror.

I mostly listened to this book (ebook at night) and always wanted to keep going. Short chapters, lots of edge of your seat suspense, otherworldy witchy happenings. I was completely swept up! Katie and Libby captured my heart - strong, capable and self-sufficient. This is a mystery, sci-fi, and suspense novel. It's a fast-paced book, although events were happening too slow (some parts were unnecessary.) To be informed, this was my first time knowing about Dean Koontz. He was a successful author with many published works, and it's even more sad if we take it into consideration because he STILL ended up with this trash. Mind you, I'm not alone on this hate. Many of the author's dedicated readers were finally giving up on him because of this novel. I know their resignation has got to do more on the author falling out of his glory by getting much political and inserting questionable personal opinions/influences to his later works...but that doesn't excuse why this book was dreadful. The House at the End of the World is a suspenseful and thrilling novel that explores the themes of loss, revenge, and redemption. Koontz’s writing is vivid and engaging, and he creates a world that is both believable and terrifying. The characters are well-developed and relatable, and the plot is fast-paced and exciting. His plots are just lame, but when there are moments where you think things are going to get better, he just squashes them.

Koontz went on to write like this for many years, he was "BRILLIANT" especially if you are a true fan of the way this mans mind works. The film was cited for Excellence in Filmmaking by the National Board of Review and was nominated for the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Film in Wide Release but lost to Kinsey. Dallas Roberts was nominated for the Gotham Independent Film Award for Breakthrough Actor, and Colin Farrell was nominated for the Irish Film Award for Best Actor. Things started slipping with the Jane Hawk series. The first couple of books were great, fourth was just okay, and the last book was a hot mess. His books since then have been going steadily downhill.Although filming had been completed in 2010, the film was not released until 2012 by Relativity Media. Despite a negative response from critics, the film was a moderate commercial success. Koontz is obsessed with rampant crime; his writing in this book reminded me of my Trump loving relatives who swear Democrats are literally burning entire cities to the ground. And his evil gangsters have suspiciously foreign sounding names. Sosa, Alejandra (July 11, 2012). "2012 Directors Guild of Canada Awards nominees announced". PR Newswire (Press release). Cision.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3 and ½ stars out of four and wrote, "The movie exists outside our expectations for such stories. Nothing about it is conventional. The three-member household is puzzling not only to us, but to its members. We expect conflict, resolution, an ending happy or sad, but what we get is mostly life, muddling through . . . Colin Farrell is astonishing in the movie, not least because the character is such a departure from everything he has done before." [5]
