Product Information

Rarely has a character been so instantly embraced by readers as Koontz's unlikely hero, Odd Thomas, the wise and gentle fry cook, who just happens to see dead people. It is just as rare for a Continue reading » Star Quest and Dark Of The Woods http://www.restfilee.com/2v1mudm14m3c/Star_Quest_and_Dark_Of_The_Woods.rar.html However, there are several references to old pop culture that only older adults would get. Also, there are parts of the story that might be too scary for kids younger than 8 or so. So, I really don't know how to categorize this book. Published pseudonymously in 1985, Koontz has revised this thriller portraying a pediatric psychiatrist's attempts to unravel the mental trauma suffered by her estranged nine-year-old daughter.

Molly and Neil, accompanying a stray dog named Virgil, set off on a mission to rescue the town’s children, many of whom are trapped in their homes. Meanwhile, the people at the tavern, split into warring factions, struggle against the mysterious threat that has seized their town. Oddly, Virgil seems to be able to supernaturally sense when and where certain children are endangered. It is revealed, later, that other animals are also leading rescue efforts to save other children.

Did you know in 1988 Dean Koontz wrote a children's story? Ok, it's billed as a 'fable for all ages' but it's clearly aimed at the younger generation. Think Toy Story meets Small Soldiers meets something Tim Burton might have noodled around a bit on at breakfast and you have Oddkins. Ivan Bodkin is a magical toymaker who dies and leaves his merry band of talking, walking toys to fend for themselves against the bad toys in the basement (subfloor? sub-something?), led by a marionette with an attitude, a flying bee and a convict human who is motivated by a demonic force to try and buy the toy factory from Bodkins relative who has just inherited the factory. An interview with Dean Koontz, whose Bliss to You: Trixie’s Guide to a Happy Life by Trixie Koontz, Dog, as told to Dean Koontz, will be published by Hyperion. No bestselling suspense novelist creates magnetic characters as consistently as Koontz does. In last year's Fear Nothing, this veteran author presented his most memorable figures yet: hero/narrator Continue reading »

I don’t remember having an imaginary friend while growing up. I guess it’s because I had a twin brother, with whom I was very closed until our second year of school, but after that we became distant because he ended up 3 years behind me.After going through different horrors, Molly and Neil are able to save 13 children total, with the help of Virgil and other animals. Molly is convinced that the aliens have allowed them to rescue the children to harvest them for some more terrible end; however, a chain of events leads her to believe that there is still hope, and that the children have been spared for a special reason. After 36 hours of rain, mist, and darkness, a new rain comes, but to the delight of the characters, the new rain is clean, and washes all the monsters, fungus, and diseased alien presences in the world.
