#1 New York Times Bestseller
“America’s most popular suspense novelist.” ―Rolling Stone
“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.” ―Los Angeles Times
“Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose.” ―New York Times Book Review
“Dean Koontz is not just a master of our darkest dreams but also a literary juggler.” ―The Times (London)
“Dean Koontz writes page-turners, middle-of-the-night-sneak-up-behind-you suspense thrillers. He touches our hearts and tingles our spines.” ―Washington Post Book World
“Koontz has a knack for making the bizarre and uncanny seem as commonplace as a sunrise. Bottom line: the Dean of Suspense.” ―People magazine
“Positively twitching with suspense. Another sure-fire hit from a thriller master.” ―Booklist (starred review)
“If Stephen King is the Rolling Stones of novels, Koontz is the Beatles.” ―Playboy
“A superb plotter and wordsmith. He chronicles the hopes and fears of our time in broad strokes and fine detail, using popular fiction to explore the human condition [and] demonstrating that the real horror of life is found not in monsters but within the human psyche.” ―USA Today
“Far more than a genre writer. Characters and the search for meaning, exquisitely crafted, are the soul of his work. This is why his novels will be read long after the ghosts and monsters of most genre writers have been consigned to the attic. One of the master storytellers of this or any age.” ―Tampa Tribune
“Dean Koontz almost occupies a genre of his own. He is a master at building suspense and holding the reader spellbound.” ―Richmond Times-Dispatch
“Demanding much of itself, Koontz’s style bleaches out clichés while showing a genius for details. He leaves his competitors buried in the dust.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Another A-plus thriller from a writer on a serious winning streak.” ―Booklist (starred review)

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful crafted story layered with hard hitting yet important truths
WOW!! One of the best books I've read in years! Over the years I've read only a handful out of the many books Dean Koontz has written and each one I've enjoyed. This book is without a doubt is his best one easliy in my humble opinion. I was caught off guard by it for sure and I mean that in the most wonderful sense.It really opened my eyes to the depth of Mr. Koontz's personal awareness. As well as his courage to elude to so many hard to accept and unpleasant truths. Both being important qualities which so many people lack today.Not only was this story entertaining and beautiful but for those with the eyes to see he reveals his highly accurate interpretation of reality in respects to our true state of the world in which we find ourselves living today.I now have a deep respect for this authour personally and will be taking another look at his other works, in hopes of confirming my opinions of him.Lastly what a beautiful story overall I just loved it in every aspect! Thank you Mr. Koontz for this meaningful gift!
4.0 out of 5 stars An Engaging Tale From Start to Finish
The House at the End of the WorldBy Dean Koontz4 StarsOverall, I really enjoyed this book. I only rated with 4 Stars because I felt it took a little too long for the story to get moving. I was hesitant to rate down for this because the background that was explained and details during this slow time were crucial to understand the impact of the “current” events. I did however rate down because more excitement coulda been fed into this part to keep it more engaging.The story itself was great. The scenes were written very well. The characters gripped me and I found myself either rooting for them or rooting against them. I really felt like I got to know many of them. I don’t want to give too many details of the actual story because I don’t want to accidentally give hints that may give away details too soon in the story.There definitely are some trigger warnings - so check those out first before reading.
5.0 out of 5 stars The legend only gets better
There are authors, who write books, that, transcend anything they've done previously. This is one, and Dean Koontz has got to be, The Goat, the OG, the majo domo, right alongside Stephen King, and, just like King, he only gets better with time, not diminishing. This is one such book, and he is one such author. Phenomenal story, with a touching phenemenal wrapup, that just fits. This whole book is a ride start to finish. he takes time to build a world, a thrill, a suspense that when built, it stays throughout the story until that final page. utterly amazing, at times emotional, and heart-warming, at times, absolutely terrifying to thpoint of, you can't stop reading because you have to know how this next event will unfold. the H'ouse at The End of Th World is as good as his classics, but fresh as new snow, in that it's unexpected with that classic vibe. Unbelievable read. I loved this one, and recommend this to anybody who likes Dean Koontz, and doesn't mind a little thrill and suspense, with a touch of emotion. Enjoy yall, Happy reading. I also want to say, if anyone sees this review, I'k strongly considering shutting down my facebook totally, and only reviewing and keeping up with all things here. So, if you want to contact me, you can message me here, but I may be shutting down my facebook account. It's just lost it, usefullness and whatever for me. I can't explain it, but, it's not the same anymore. Anyway, haspy reading and take care.
5.0 out of 5 stars As usual, stunning writing grabs the soul.
The first half of this amazing story did not pull me in, as Watchers and Lightning did. But this is Koontz, so I kept reading. The second half ... oh, my. Brilliant. I have never before made so many notes while reading my Kindle. And Koontz says more about today's powerful than he normally does
3.0 out of 5 stars Some “wow,” some “meh,” and some “give me a break.”
This novel begins rather slowly, with mounting creepiness and character-building in what you might call the first act of a three part story. It then explodes into horrific, fast-paced action for an extensive and riveting second act reminiscent of older, better Koontz novels. Sadly, it’s let down by an anticlimactic, extended third act and especially weak ending (so weak, in fact, failing to deliver on numerous hints of intended future action, that I suspect there may be a sequel planned). As with the last book I reviewed, I’ve grown to loathe Dean’s increasingly frequent, disdainful, polemic attacks on government employees, liberal attitudes and anyone who disagrees with his creationist-apocalyptic Christian viewpoint. In my last review of one of his novels I said I thought I was done with Dean, but as he word-smiths so brilliantly and writes such excellent action-horror scenes, I decided to give him another chance. Although I sense that Dean is a sensitive soul with much love in him, I believe he’s fallen too far down the right wing rabbit-hole for me to read further. (E.g., among other things according to Dean, the CDC itself caused a recent pandemic and abiogenesis has been discredited.) Now I’m done.
Excellent
Outstanding story telling. Well structured characters. A gripping story that was hard to put down. An interesting and thought provoking tale.
Super spannend!
Knüpft an ältere Bücher von ihm an und ist superspannend. Mir gefallen vor allem die eingeschränkten Locations, da man sich komplett auf die kleine Örtlichkeit und die wenigen Charaktere beschränkt und konzentrieren kann. Dadurch fühlt man von Anfang an mit und kann das Buch nicht mehr aus der Hand legen. Klare Empfehlung!
A well written rant about everything under the sun
What is there to say? The protagonists are sincere, brilliant, smart, always in the right. The villains are cardboard cutouts lacking even minimal depth to their personalities. Yhere is a lot of love of guns, independence and suspicion of government, scientists, politicians, the woke, the environmentalists... the list goes on.And its well written. You read through the crap because you like the protagonists.
Thought provoking and intense
I thoroughly enjoyed the intensity and strength of character of the heroines. The storyline was not unexpected, but was filled with enough surprises as to make it a fascinating read. I did not want stop reading, from the beginning to the end. A very exciting read.
Another great Dean Koontz story
From the beginning you can see the style of Dean. You could start this book, not knowing who wrote it. It won’t take long to see the style and mystery that makes the books of Mr. Koontz so fascinating. This time a faithful fox instead of a dog, but Michael J. is an important part. I have enjoyed so many fantastic stories of Dean. Just that right amount of mystery mixed with a little terror. My faithful cat, Squirt is by my side purring, yet on alert, in case the monsters find their way out of the pages. Thank you Mr. Koontz for you most interesting imagination..
