What connects the nightmares of strangers…?

In Strangers, Dean Koontz writes a terrifying thriller of the consequences of one fateful night in a lonely motel. Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Richard Laymon.


‘[Koontz] is a great storyteller, and Strangers features a plot so original you’ll be reading, with chills, well into the morning’ – New York Daily News

A surgeon, a writer, a motel-keeper, a priest and a thief; they have nothing in common – nothing but one hot summer night at the Tranquillity Motel: a night filled with unending terror; a night when an awesome power stripped them of their memories.

Now the evil is creeping back into their minds. Slowly, tauntingly, maddeningly, they are recalling the unspeakable events of that fateful moonlit evening. And as the vision of evil grows clearer, the guests of the Tranquillity Motel seek each other out. Some of them will not live to face the power head on. But some will – in a terror-packed climax unlike anything ever experienced before…

What readers are saying about Strangers:

‘As the story progressed, I felt the fear and exaltation experienced by Koontz’ characters as the secrets of their nightmares were revealed one by one

‘You’ve just got to keep reading to find out what happens next – it is truly unputdownable

Simply put, this is the best bit of fiction I have read thus far

Reviews

New York Daily News
[Koontz] is a great storyteller, and Strangers features a plot so original you'll be reading, with chills, well into the morning
Booklist
Koontz is a master at constructing vivid, eerily realistic worlds that hold readers spellbound. A memorable thriller
Mary Higgins Clark
A unique spellbinder that captures the reader on the first page. Exciting, enjoyable, and an intensely satisfying read
The Times
Dean Koontz has always boldly gone where no other fiction writer has even considered going before. As ever, the writing is fluid, the dynamic taut and the relationships between characters compulsive
Sunday Telegraph
Koontz's art is making the reader believe the impossible... sit back and enjoy it
Suspense Magazine
In every industry there exist 'artists' that are not only unforgettable, but know their craft better than the rest. Dean Koontz... is among these artisans
The Seattle Times
Dean Koontz is a prose stylist whose lyricism heightens malevolence and tension. [He creates] characters of unusual richness and depth
The New York Times Book Review
Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose.... 'Serious' writers... might do well to examine his technique
Associated Press
Lyrical writing and compelling characters... Koontz stands alone
Los Angeles Times
[Koontz] has always had near-Dickensian powers of description, and an ability to yank us from one page to the next that few novelists can match
