Phantoms
“Phantoms is gruesome and unrelenting…It’s well realized, intelligent, and humane.”—Stephen King
They found the town silent, apparently abandoned. Then they found the first body, strangely swollen and still warm. One hundred fifty were dead, 350 missing. But the terror had only begun in the tiny mountain town of Snowfield, California.
At first they thought it was the work of a maniac. Or terrorists. Or toxic contamination. Or a bizarre new disease.
But then they found the truth. And they saw it in the flesh. And it was worse than anything any of them had ever imagined...

- AMAZING READ
- genuinely terrifying
- koontz builds suspense by using detail & follows it up with a killer sentence, almost as if it’s a jumpscare within a novel

This book was remarkably fun. There were only a couple sections that legitimately scared me, and the rest was good old-fashioned 80's sci-fi. I specifically found the realistic reaction to the monster at hand refreshing. The characters are simple enough to not be overwhelming, but the few traits they're given work.
Great introduction to Dean Koontz's work.
