Books by Dean Koontz
“Darkfall is a book that touches upon the supernatural as a different dimension, that can sometimes touch on this dimension through the right people following the right practices. It’s about a police detective who is trying to solve a series of gang murders, and the gang murders are happening because the gangs crossed a voodoo bocor, a dark priest, who starts summoning things. At first he only summons little things, but if he summons three hundred of them they could eat you… And they’re getting bigger and bigger and bigger, and it’s getting worse and worse and worse. This police detective is realising that these crimes are not covered in any of the manuals. This guy, he got torn to pieces by rats in a club and nobody noticed – how did that happen? He finally figures out what’s going on, and he tracks down a white practitioner of voodoo, a houngan, to help him.” Read more...
