What do you do when there’s nowhere left to run?

Dean Koontz’s Shadowfires is a thrilling novel of jealousy, danger and the fight for survival. Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Harlan Coben.


‘Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose… ‘Serious’ writers… might do well to examine his technique’ – The New York Times Book Review

Rachael Leben’s violently possessive ex-husband, Eric, hideously mangled in a freak accident, is dead. But his body has disappeared from the city morgue.

Now someone, or something, is watching Rachael. Calling her. Stalking her. And though no one will believe her, she knows who it is; that his walking corpse is a grotesque mockery of life, and his brilliant, warped mind, once again ‘alive’, is seething with jealous rage, seeking an unspeakable revenge.

What readers are saying about Shadowfires:

‘This book is a ‘once-you-start-you-can’t-put-it-downexhilarating reading experience

‘This novel is exceptionally brilliant

‘This book is entertaining, spine-tingling, and utterly terrifying as the possibilities become ever more real…’

The Seattle Times
Dean Koontz is a prose stylist whose lyricism heightens malevolence and tension. [He creates] characters of unusual richness and depth
The New York Times Book Review
Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose.... 'Serious' writers... might do well to examine his technique
Associated Press
Lyrical writing and compelling characters... Koontz stands alone
Los Angeles Times
[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
Publishers Weekly
Perhaps more than any other author, Koontz writes fiction perfectly suited to the mood of America... novels that acknowledge the reality and tenacity of evil but also the power of good... [and that] entertain vastly as they uplift
