Dean Koontzis among these artisans.”—Suspense Magazine“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“Perhaps more than any other author, Koontz writes fiction perfectly suited to the mood of Americanovels that acknowledge the reality and tenacity of evil but also the power of goodand that entertain vastly as they uplift.”—Publishers Weekly.

"I hate Dean Koontz" according to T. Dyer. The title of this review seems a little odd from a fan. If I could meet Mr. Koontz I would thank him for providing me with so many hours of thought provoking entertainment.Darkfall seems to have gotten several bad reviews. This puzzles me greatly. This is a very entertaining book. No, it is not his greatest work. If I had to name his greatest book, I couldn't do it. They are all unique and special in their own way.

If I could give him a ten star, I would most definitely do that, but alas, such a rating is not possible; though I keep my hopes up that one day the God of critics will be benevolent enough to let me use a ten star scale some day soon.Mr. Koontz has for many years been writing stories that capture the attention and imagination of his audience. In fact, the first "horror" book I ever managed to read was The Door to December. I happened to get the Door to December for free at the public library in the small city of Sierra Vista, AZ. I pi. Laura said Hmmmm. Koontz is hit or miss for me. This one is a miss.The story feels dated and the writing predictable, simplistic and cliche. It must be one if koontz's earlier works.The characters are cliched in appearance, actions and vocabulary. This makes them simple, boring and incredibly predictable in an already extremely predictable plot. Our hero(s) are beautiful and flawless both in appearance, integrity and avtion even when they aren't, even when they do something questionable, they are written as if they are shining examples of humanity.For a very glaring example, our main character hero, singl
