Praise for Dean Koontz's novels: 'Koontz redefines suspense
*The Times*

Koontz`s style bleaches out clichés while showing a genius for detail
*Publishers Weekly*

Koontz's art is making the reader believe the impossible... sit back and enjoy it
*Sunday Telegraph*

A master of the thriller genre
*Washington Post*

Scary. Koontz can really spook, and his dialogue and pacing rival the best
*New York Post*

Fast and furious...like a hospital trolley on a toboggan run
*Mail on Sunday*

Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose... "Serious" writers might do well to examine his technique. The story does not move so much as rocket up the gloomy highway with the reader in violent pursuit
*New York Times*

Six strangers are unaccountably seized by nightmares, attacks of fear, and bouts of uncharacteristic behavior. The six begin to seek each other out as puzzling photographs and messages arrive, indicating that the cause may lie in a forgotten weekend stay at an isolated Nevada motel. Koontz has topped a fine roster of horror and suspense novels with an almost unbearably suspenseful page-turner. His ability to maintain the mystery through several plot twists is impressive, as is his array of believable and sympathetic characters. With its masterful blend of elements of espionage, terror, and even some science fiction, Strangers may be the suspense novel of the year. Recommended for popular collections. Literary Guild dual main selection. Eric W. Johnson, Univ. of Bridgeport Lib . , Conn.
