375. The Bad Place by Dean R. Koontz

BOOK REVIEW: The Bad Place by Dean R. Koontz

If you thought Stephen King's books were horrifying, be prepared to shed tears as your eyes feast on the pages, digesting one gruesome detail after another.

Frank Pollard awakens in an alley, knowing nothing but his name - and that he's in great danger. Having taken refuge in a motel, he wakes again only to find his hands covered in blood. Over the next few days Frank develops a fear of sleep, because each time he wakes he discovers strange objects in his hands and pockets which are far more frightening than blood.

Bobby and Julie Dakota are private investigators who take on Frank's case out of compassion and curiosity. It seems a simple job but as the Dakotas are drawn into mysterious realms they encounter an ominous figure stalking Frank. Their lives are threatened, including the life of Julie's Down Syndrome brother.

A classic story of good versus evil given a darker twist you will be riveted to your seat. Think of two human bodies teleporting and getting atoms scrambled, only to be reconstituted with teeth where the nose should be and other horrendous images. Just hope you don't get nightmares reading this...
