Phantoms

- 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
- best book i’ve read in years

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.

koontz gets put down a lot but his older stuff like this one is pretty fun and haunting
