CHRISTOPHER SNOW is different from all the other residents of Moonlight Bay, different from anyone you’ve ever met. For Christopher Snow has made his peace with a very rare genetic disorder that leaves him dangerously vulnerable to light. His life is filled with the fascinating rituals of one who must embrace the dark. He knows the night as no one else can – its mystery, its beauty, its terrors, and the eerie silken rhythms that seduce one into believing anything – even freedom – is possible.
Until the night Christopher Snow witnesses a series of disturbing incidents that sweep him into a violent mystery only he can solve, a mystery that will force him to rise above all fears and confront the many-layered secrets of Moonlight Bay, that looks a lot different after dark.
PRAISE FOR THE ORIGINAL FEAR NOTHING NOVEL:
“Fear Nothing will make you fear almost everything.” – San Francisco Examiner
“An adrenaline-pumping new adventure. Fear Nothing demonstrates a master of darkness’s continuing power to scare the daylights out of us.” – People
“Koontz presents a unique fictional world well-grounded in convincing detail. Readers will be riveted to the narrative. Koontz’s familiar theme of life’s victims defying the odds emerges here as forcefully as it does in Sole Survivor and Intensity, but Snow’s physical limitations give it a more dangerous and intriguing edge.” – Publishers Weekly
“Fear Absolutely Everything is what I’d have called it. Once again Dean Koontz has succeeded in subjecting me to a string of sleepless nights.” – SFX Magazine
“His best work.” – Chicago Sun-Times
