A religious cult takes its faith to the extreme…
In The Servants of Twilight by Dean Koontz, a mother must fight unimaginable evil to save her child. Perfect for fans of Richard Laymon and Harlan Coben.
‘Koontz’s skill at edge-of-the-seat writing has improved with each book. He can scare our socks off’ – Boston Herald
To his mother, Joey seems an ordinary six-year-old boy – special to her, but to no one else. To the Servants of Twilight, however, he is an evil presence who must be destroyed – an Anti-Christ who must die.
The terrifying ordeal for Joey and his mother begins in the supermarket car park where an old woman accosts them and pursues them with her terrible threats. Christine’s world is turned into a nightmare of terror. Only her love for her child, and the support of the one man who believes her, gives her the chance to survive the Servants of Twilight…

Koontz's skill at edge-of-the-seat writing has improved with each book. He can scare our socks off
Dean Koontz has always boldly gone where no other fiction writer has even considered going before. As ever, the writing is fluid, the dynamic taut and the relationships between characters compulsive
Koontz's art is making the reader believe the impossible... sit back and enjoy it
In every industry there exist 'artists' that are not only unforgettable, but know their craft better than the rest. Dean Koontz... is among these artisans
Dean Koontz is a prose stylist whose lyricism heightens malevolence and tension. [He creates] characters of unusual richness and depth
Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose.... 'Serious' writers... might do well to examine his technique
Lyrical writing and compelling characters... Koontz stands alone
[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
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
Koontz's prose is as smooth as a knife through butter and his storytelling ability never wavers
A triumph
Pulls out all the stops
Solid, satisfying, hair-raising
Fast and furious . . . like a hospital trolley on a toboggan run
Koontz redefines suspense
Super suspenseful with a double-take finish
A tour de force
Kept me glued to my chair . . . sinister and spine-tingling. Page-turning excitement
Koontz's art is making the reader believe the impossible . . . sit back and enjoy it
