Book Synopsis

"Koontz is brilliant in the creation of his characters and in building tension."
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

In Los Angeles, a hot Hollywood director, high on PCP, turns a city street into a fiery apocalypse. Heroic LAPD officer Jac McGarvey is badly wounded and will not walk for months. His wife and his child are left to fend for themselves against both criminals that control an increasingly violent city and the dead director's cult of fanatic fans.
In a lonely corner of Montana, Eduardo Fernandez, the father of McGarvey's murdered partner, witnesses a strange nocturnal sight. The stand of pines outside his house suddenly glows with eerie amber light, and Fernandez senses a watcher in the winter woods. As the seasons change, the very creatures of the forest seem in league with a mysterious presence. Fernandez is caught up in a series of chilling incidents that escalate toward a confronation that could rob him of his sanity or his life--or both.
As events careen out of control, the McGarvey family is drawn to Fernandez's Montana ranch. In that isolated place they discover their destiny in a terrifying and fiercely suspenseful encounter with a hostile, utterly ruthless, and enigmatic enemy, from which neither the living nor the dead are safe.

BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Dean Koontz's The City.

    When I started this book I thought it to be 1 thing, the streets of LA overrun by gang activity…violence. The pace at which this story was moving was captivating. Page after page I kept reading. Then OMG…there became more to the story. 200 pages in I saw the shift in what it was. I had to keep reading, I had to find out how what was going on in LA and what was going on in Montana played out…how it all intertwined…if it did at all. Dean Koontz WHAT a suspenseful gripping book this was!!
  • Full moon madness for horror fans!

    Besides being one of Dean Koontz’s scariest books, this is quite simply one of the most terrifying supernatural horror novels I’ve ever read! This book gave me the creeps the entire time I was reading it! There were quite a few times that I found myself looking up from the book to make sure I was alone in the room! To be brutally honest, it happened with every other chapter! When I read the climax, I decided to stay up late at night to finish it. Big, HUGE mistake!!! I was up until 2:00 o’clock finishing those lengthy final chapters, and I had to to get up twice to turn on extra lights because the only light that was burning was a lamp in the living room! It was THAT scary!!! I love this book! And for all of you Koontz fans who love supernatural horror stories, I recommend this book, particularly for Halloween reading... especially if you’re reading it for the first time! Fair warning: YOU WILL BE TERRIFIED!!! 🎃🎃🎃Happy Halloween!🎃🎃🎃 I thought I would add to this review to ask one question that infuriates me! Why is Dean Koontz’s novel Shattered NOT available as an iBook?? I don’t care much since I prefer paperback books, but a lot of Koontz’s fans would like to read this book as a digital book. Come on, iBooks, make the book available! Like I said, I really wouldn’t care, but I admittedly enjoy having iBook samples of books I want to read until I can find an actual physical copy to read. Hurry it up, iBooks! Publish Shattered as an iBook!

    I think the story was poorly ended. I think more should have been developed about the "portal" from which the entity came through.
