About this listen

“The plot twists ingeniously...an engaging, often chilling book.” - The New York Times Book Review

A writer in California. A doctor in Boston. A motel owner and his employee in Nevada. A priest in Chicago. A robber in New York. A little girl in Las Vegas. They’re a handful of people from across the country, living through eerie variations of the same nightmare.

A dark memory is calling out to them. And soon they will be drawn together, deep in the heart of a sprawling desert, where the terrifying truth awaits...

Critic Reviews

“A unique spellbinder that captures the reader on the first page. Exciting, enjoyable, and an intensely satisfying read.” - Mary Higgins Clark

“[Koontz] is a great storyteller, and Strangers features a plot so original you’ll be reading, with chills, well into the morning." - New York Daily News

“Koontz is a master at constructing vivid, eerily realistic worlds that hold readers spellbound. A memorable thriller.” - Booklist

Not my favourite book by this author. A little too sentimental, like many of Koontz’ books, and far too wordy. Really labours the point at times. Could do with a good edit. There were parts that I just couldn’t get past. I found his discussion at one point about the ‘civilising’ effect that Europeans brought to the Americas and to the Arctic quite racist and offensive. And I could not get past the character, Ginger, calling a kind old man ‘a black bastard’. After that we were supposed to believe that he just put aside his hurt and continued to help her. Furthermore, we are repeatedly encouraged to view this character as a wonderful, kind woman. I felt that he could tell me how wonderful she was to his heart’s content but he had already shown me who she was with that racist outburst. Couldn’t tie the strings of her personality into a coherent and believable whole.


Also didn’t love the narration. He had such an odd way of pronouncing certain words like ‘calm’ and ‘palm’ and it was such a distraction.

A lot of build up to the mystery of why and what was going on. Ended a little flat could have been expanded at the end but overall a pretty solid read.

Not to bad
