Book Review:
''What the Night Knows'' by Dean Koontz is a compelling, terrifying, and fresh horror novel. In the late summer of a long-ago year, Alton Turner Blackwood brutally murdered four families. His savage spree ended only when he himself was killed by the last survivor of the last family, a fourteen-year-old boy.

Half a continent away and two decades later, someone is murdering families again, re-creating in detail Blackwood's crimes. Homicide detective John Calvino is certain that his own family will be targets, just as his parents and sisters were victims on that distant night. As a detective, John is a man of reason who deals in cold facts. But an extraordinary experience convinces him that sometimes death is not a one-way journey—that sometimes the dead return.

Koontz is not just a master of our darkest dreams, but also a literary juggler. This novel is satisfyingly spooky and unrelentingly foreboding. If you enjoy horror, paranormal thrillers, or Dean Koontz's novels, What the Night Knows is a must-read. Highly recommended!
