Always something happenning

I found Darkfall to be very enjoyable. If this had been the first Dean Koontz (DK) book that I had read then I would definitely have given it a 5 star rating but having read most of DK's books, I gave it 4 stars. I reduced the rating knowing that he has written better work but it is still a very good read. The story is non stop action so gets you in quickly. It may be unrealistic but it is never boring. He has the most amazing imagination and style of writing. When I read his books, I can picture all he writes and feel the emotion and tension. It's like having a movie playing in my head. Darkfall didn't let me down at all. I loved the suspense in the chase and the bit of romance.
The authors note was also interesting.

Don't hesitate. Buy the book. You wont be sorry.

I think I've seen this before.....

The story of gruesome murders that happen in locked and sealed rooms, a love story in the background, creatures from hell, a pit opens up and a devil emerges from it....yes I loved 'Phantoms' by Dean Koontz. Oh, what's that you say? Darkfall? Yeah I love the way he changed the name of the book from 'phantoms' to 'darkfall'. Then he added some goblins and moved it from California to NYC, it was good. I obviously didn't give this book 3 stars because of it's amazing originality, it was good, but if you've read Phantoms you'll sit there comparing the two as I did and think about not finishing the book, just assuming that the main characters come out of this okay. It was a quick book tho, and if you're bored on a rainy sunday pick it up, you'll be done soon.

a fun read, which you should probably not read before bedtime

One of Koontz's earliest novels that was originally titled "The Pit" by his persona Owen West, has been retitled "Darkfall" and is now published along with other Koontz titles. I picked up this paperback after reading and enjoying Koontz's "Odd Thomas" series. The writing of "Darkfall" is just as dark and evil as I had expected.

Koontz's use of imagery throughout the novel is outstanding. I was able to (unwillingly) step into the novel and be part of the action. I truly felt as if I was traveling with the characters throughout the story.

The demonic characters where slowly revealed to us as the gates of hell were opened through a glowing pit dug by the evil character Lavelle. Lavelle practices voodoo, but other than a few references to his rituals, I found that there was much research lacking by Koontz.

The characters Jack and Rebecca were well developed and I felt a strong connection to them, even to the evil forces of Lavelle. There was a strong story line of good vs evil that was carried through the entire book. A lesser love storyline was also present and I found myself enjoying the character development through this route.

Having a 12 year old child, I found one character, Penny, who is 11 years old to be unbelievable. See seemed to present the maturity and dialogue of a much older teen. This was especially evident at the end of the novel.

Overall, this was a fun read, which you should probably not read before bedtime.

Interesting Quick Read

One of his older books, first written under his pen name Owen West (I missed reading the first time around), but great Koontz story-line and fast paced. Little bit of everything-love story, police detective work, family, and of course something scary out there that wants to get you!

Strange Days
Winter gripped the city. Terror gripped it, too. They found four corpses in four days, each more hideous than the last.

Strange Nights
At first the cops thought they were dealing with a psychopath. But soon they heard eerie sounds in the ventilation system. And saw unearthly silver eyes in the snow-slashed night.

Final Hours
In a city paralyzed by a blizzard, something watches, something stalks?
